Used Car of the Day: 1992 Acura Legend

by Tim Healey

Published: September 3rd, 2024

Today we bring you a project car with this 1992 Acura Legend.

It's not that much of a project -- it needs paint and it has some rust, but it also seems to run well, though it will need a muffler and A/C recharge.

Other cosmetic issues include worn seats and an ABS light that is stuck on. The seller says the brakes work fine, though.

The mileage is high at over 183K, but the price is low at $1,300.

This could either be a cheap daily for someone who needs inexpensive wheels, or someone can pour some money into fixing the paint, muffler, A/C, ABS light, and driver's seat.

If that someone is you, click here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

It never "just needs a recharge" when they're that old. All the seals are toast, even if the compressor still works. Ask me how I know. I have a '95 Sable with only 81,000 miles that is otherwise extremely solid, but it would take $2K to restore the air conditioning system.

  I've seen them work sometimes...for about 2 days until it all leaks out again.

Shame the state its in, I wonder if this is more of a running parts car than a regular buy.

Sobhuza Trooper The potential below-cost dumping of Mexican assembled Chinese electric vehicles was precisely what Donald Trump warned about on March 16..--QUOTEChina now is building a couple of massive plants where they’re going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they’re going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border. Let me tell you something to China, if you’re listening President Xi, and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans, and you’re going to sell the cars to us? No. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars.
