Default 1988 Legend L Sedan



Mileage: 200,020

Price: $2,750 (will be on Craig’s List later this week for $3,295)

VIN: JH4KA4550JC008275

Location: Georgia, 30 miles northwest of Atlanta

Black Pearl (charcoal gray) with gray leather interior

Important points:
• Georgia car always
• Female original owner
• Pristine paint
• Michelin tires
• Service records from Ed Voyles Acura, Chamblee, GA going back to December 1987
• No cracks in dash
• Garage-parked
• No accidents
• Everything works

This is a great car! This car always starts when you turn the key. If the new owner continues to care for this car as it has always been cared for, it is reasonable to believe it will go another 300,000 miles.

The body is perfect except for one tiny ding. Paint is shiny, not dull with age as one might expect. Minor UV damage to rear seats behind the head rests. The front seats are cracked, but not yet completely bad; black/gray pseudo-suede front seat covers included.

Original owner. No under-age drivers, ever. No vehicular accidents. No rust. No smokers. All service has been performed by Ed Voyles Acura in Chamblee, GA. Tire alignment, balancing, brakes, etc. have been performed by Gran Torismo East, the best specialists (tires, balancing) in the southeast.

She drives like a dream – every bit as good as my new ILX (which I LOVE!). I need to sell her because I am committed to caring for two cars now and that is one more car than I have time for. It is time for someone else to enjoy this Legend – preferably someone familiar with the brand, who will appreciate this rare, well-kept car. And that is why I am discounting the price so much just for this website.

2.7 liter engine, 24-valve, V-6
5-speed manual transmission
Independent suspension

Loaded:
• Power 10-way driver’s seat, windows, door mirrors, door locks, antenna, and moon roof.
• Dual heated power door mirrors.
• Cruise control.
• Security alarm system.
• Map lights front, reading lamps rear.
• Intermittent windshield wipers.
• Electric rear-window defroster with timer.
• Halogen headlamps.
• Dual illuminated vanity mirrors.
• Fog lamps.
• Michelins, alloy wheels, brake dust shields, front mud guards.
• New windshield.
• Brand new Technalon cover.
• Cassette deck with 4 new speakers, 7-band programmable equalizer.
• Receiver hitch 2” only used for my bike rack* (could also be for wheelchairs, carry-all trunks) (not appropriate for pulling a trailered anything)
• Four Acura Legend floor mats. These original mats are extremely dense and show no wear.
• Original, complete owner’s manual. Original, dealer’s window sticker.

*Bike rack is not included with the car. It is pictured to show that no part of the rack or bicycles ever touch the car. I had seen too many cars scratched up from bike racks so I shopped for two years to find one that would not damage my car.

NOTE: All service requirements are currently complete. Any parts or systems that would require service by this point have been completed. No major service or replacement is anticipated (per the dealer) anytime soon. A detailed list of service visits, repairs, and parts replacements of the last 25+ years is available, upon request; you can review the list to quickly see if an item of concern has been replaced or when was it last replaced. (It is an Excel spreadsheet I can easily email.)

My wife & I saw this car this past weekend and I can vouch for it being a special piece. Not often the original owner of any car takes such good care of a car like this one. Whoever buys it will get one that has been used, loved and cared for and never abused.

Default Thanks, guys.

Thank you Matt; I'd sure like to see her go to someone like you who realizes and appreciates what they're seeing. I appreciate your comments.

And thank you, Kevin. I am SO glad that you were able to see her in person and grateful that you made it to our "far away" home to do so. Thank you for your comments here on the ad. You know, you could break out and buy a G1 . . . to help get your stable headcount back up towards "4" again. (wink)
