Don't repair the ALB....it's not worth the money...just disconnect the 3 ALB fuses in the engine bay.

I disagree with some others on the auto tranny.....I have 2 Coupes: 1 w/274K miles and the other w/123K miles and both trannies are fine ! Just use Honda ATF when flushing or filling !

Be aware of the rust around the gas filler area and the rear whell well areas !

Make sure your car has had the timing belt/warter pump changed at the required 90K mile intervals......and that your front CV axle boots are not cracked and leaking !

I don't think there was much of a difference with the models other than cosmetics/accessories. I think the non-US models offered seat heaters and an automatic door lock/opener system for some years !

Best of luck and welcome....bonjour !!!! .....John

As far as American people talking about French cars.........NO !!!!!!.....

WOW....the pics of the legend look great ! No rust at all. I'm wondering what's on the bumper in front of each headlight !!??

ND1980LS, Those things in front of the headlights are wipers. Some european models had them. Not us here in Australia and not the U.S. though.

I thought that's what they were.....I've only seen those on older Mercedes'.
