Ya see, I've been saving up for an Acura for sometime now, and it has been so rough doing so, tuition+books+ a whole lot of things is basically milking me dry , ya see, Im trying to purchase either a coupe or sedan, 91 to 95 ull do, doesn't matter, as long as its in the 2nd generation of acuras :yumyum:

I've went on craigslist, but most of the cars on there had something seriously wrong with them, Im talking about acuras with no engines:nono: All Im asking, is for your guys help, if any of you is selling an Acura legend from the ranges of $1000-2000 just hit me up by messaging/PMing me or something. I want an acura so bad, Im tired of seeing my cousin showing his off. Rich bastard

I highly doubt you will find a Legend in good condition for $1,000 to $2,000; it will end up costing you more in the long run. Save your pennies and get a Legend in good condition.

Do yourself a favor and get something else. Unless you have at least $1000.00 (+) set aside for when it starts to snowball on you with constant problems besides the maintenance.

'Cause every college graduate is in a position to buy one of those

Nothing wrong with having hopes, but I think what's already been said is accurate. You won't find a G2 for under 5k that won't need a trip to the shop right off the bat. And if you do buy one that is less than healthy, you'll either end up without groceries or a hell of a credit card bill trying to nurse it back to health on student wages.

EDIT: ok, maybe 4k... I forgot mine's a GS :nutkick:

I'd wait till you graduate. It sux having a legend break down on you while you're in school.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen this as someones avatar but I can't put my finger on it.

That's not always true, although I do know what you mean.

I sold my Legend yesterday for $3,200 and I'd be willing to bet it runs better/stronger than most Type I's on the forum.

Aren't those pictures of Drizzle's sedan?

who is drizzle??? where do he live????

anyway, thats just one of tons of legends i see online, IDK that one just caught my eye. IDK if i should get it or not.

How so man?? how does the hose look messed up???

 

[black-n-blue]

I think what he means re the radiator hose is:

The upper rad hose looks too long, it is probably an aftermarket, which, IMO is not a good idea with Legends - especially hoses, t-stat, fluids etc....

I understand your Legend lust, we all have it here to some degree. It can be a love/hate relationship you see - the Acura Legend, while one of the most interesting vehicles ever manufactured is prone to HG failure, which is a drag.

The good news is, this is the best Legend forum on the web and many here have repaired their existing motors or dropped new ones in to keep the Legend alive.

So just beware, Legend lust can be a pain in the wallet.

This man speaks the truth.

I just bought my second legend (92 legend sedan LS) for $2100. I had to fix a few things (axle, valve cover gasket, tranny mount, tires, and fluids) and that ended up costing me an additional $1000. This is just parts. Thankfully the legend is my weekend car so I can take my time fixing it myself.

A lot of legends in the $1000-2000 range are probably not going to be in great shape. Save up another $2000 and you will find a decent one. I bought my first legend for $4000 and it ran perfectly with nothing to fix. Unfortunately it got totaled.

Hey if my legend didn't get total we will have a race to see who engine last longer.

 

[Acurafiend]

Hey guys, your really helping me out with this whole buying a car thing, I just wanted to say thanks alot for yor help and support.

Anyway i have stumbled upon another legend, this one being a 93 coupe. Problem is>.> It has an radiator leak and needs CV BOOT FOR the AXLE. Do you think i should purchase it and just have it sit in my garage while i just work until i have the time and money to fix it??? Or just keep looking and forget I even thought about purchasing it? lol

what are your take on this??

Heres a pic of the vehicle..
