Up for sale is my 1989 Legend L coupe. I have owned the car for a little over 4 years now, and bought it off the original 1-woman owner, to the best of my knowledge. It has 187,200 actual miles. At the time I purchased the car, it had a clean title, but more recently, it had to be branded a salvage title(transferred from me to myself), due to a rear end collision. *The bad: -Needs new automatic transmission or current one rebuilt.(Only first and second gear work, reverse is completely gone and will not engage, and the car will only go about 45 mph tops, and that is pushing it.) -Recently had performed a drain/refill procedure with 4 quarts of new transmission fluid twice in a row, but it did not seem to help things, and the fluid that came out both times was dark brown and smelled not so nice. -Rear end and side front-fender damage. -Transmission crossmember damaged and needs to be replaced along with new transmission mount. -Horn and cruise control do not work, and SRS light all come on, due to suspected faulty "clock-spring" wiring within steering wheel, but is repairable. -A/C does not work due to frozen clutch bearing, and is believed that a new compressor clutch is all that is needed that would get the a/c going again, and the compressor belt is still intact. Prior to this problem, the a/c was blowing cold, and I added some Freeze 12 refrigerant in the system, but this was already after the fact that I had the refrigerant converted to R-134.. -Loose steering, and is believed to be worn rack and pinion, but not entirely sure. -Interior center console lid needs reupholstering. -Although mostly original, the interior is dirty from various food and coffee spots, and needs a good, deep cleaning. *The good: -New radiator, thermostat, gasket, radiator cap, and upper/lower hoses were installed at the time I purchased car, so never any problems with the car over-heating, or with the cylinder heads needing any kind of work. -Newer front upper control arms on both sides. -Newer front inner and outer tie-rod ends on both sides. -Newer power-steering pressure line within the past year. -Newer, re-manufactured alternator within the past 2 years. -Newer battery within the last 6 months. -Although shown as missing in the engine photos. the factory air cleaner box and associated duct hoses are on hand, and are easily installed back on car, and, of course, are included. -All 4 windows roll up and down fine, with exception to the passenger's side front window, due to a slightly bent interior window rail molding. -Power locks, power trunk release, and power sunroof all work great, with the sunroof especially operating very fast with no leaks or cracks. -Very good tread on all 4 tires, with all 4 tires matching size, and both rear tires were replaced last summer. -All original exhaust system, including muffler, as well as catalytic converter from the factory, and the car JUST PASSED CA SMOG recently with no problems. -2 new Denso oxygen sensors recently installed. -6 new NGK Copper plugs. -Newer front and rear brake pads in the last year. -Oil always changed every 3000 miles since I have owned the car. -Excellent overall condition original interior headliner with all dome/reading lights working properly, along with both front door courteousy lights. -All original Bahama Gold Metallic factory paint, not the greatest of condition, but is believed that it can be rubbed out to a nice shine. -Factory Acura Am/Fm cassettee stereo will work intermittently, and when it does not work, the LCD display will only show fragments of its fully display and the sound will just completely go away and then come back. -Matched set of 4 Infinity Reference Green Series 6-1/2" installed speakers both front and back. The original speakers are not available, and were discarded long ago due to typical dry-rotting. I just do not have any more time to deal with the car. The car is sold as is, where is, with no warranties expressed or implied. I have described all the defects of the car to the best of my knowledge. With a new transmission, or the old one rebuilt, this car would still have plenty of life left in it and will drive like a Porsche down the 101 or the 405. The car is located in the Los Angeles area, and it is solely the responsibility of the highest bidder to pick up or ship car. Lastly, this is a lifetime Southern California car, being mostly rust-free, with exception to some minor surface rust around front driver's side front fender where damage exists, edge of muffler housing, and just a bit around the interior gas tank filler cap housing. -On May-05-13 at 18:24:19 PDT, seller added the following information: You are hereby advised to cancel your bid immediately.
