#61 of 788 88 legend by slamar1 Oct 06, 2000 (5:57 pm)
Still driving my 88 Legend L with 175,000 miles on it. Still can't seem to get rid of it even though we have a new 00 3.2 TL w/navi and new RX 300. Maybe our daughter will someday drive it. What a wonderful car. It sure did spoil us.
#62 of 788 Dreaming of a legend by bujusgirl Oct 07, 2000 (2:31 am)
I was only 15 when i fell in love with a 1990 Legend and i swore my first car would be a legend. I'm now at the point of life where i absolutely need a car but i don't have much money (i have $4500) but i really want a legend (90 or 92 model). The mileage i've seen for 90 legends for that price is 140,000 or more. I know Legends are expensive to maintain and if it breaks down, i won't have the money to fix it. Since you guys own legends and have had it for a while i have a couple of questions to ask. 1. After what amount of mileage do legends usually start giving you problems? 2. WOuld you advise me to just let go of my dream legend and buy an affordable car or do you have faith in the beauty of legends. 3. Is anyone trying to sell their legend?
#63 of 788 accura cd changer by anh2 Oct 10, 2000 (1:49 pm)
i've got an Accura Legend 94 without a cd player. I'd like to have one but i don't know what to put in. The stock one is a bose cassete and i wonder a alpine cd changer could work with this casette? Anyone knows how, please give me a suggestion.
#64 of 788 CD player/changer by prophet2 Oct 10, 2000 (6:45 pm)
Check your manual to see if your head unit is up-gradable to adding a trunk-mounted CD changer. If so, the audio controls would be dual-purpose for the cassette and CD. Honda has a history of having their cars pre-wired for audio up-grades extra speakers, CD changer). The 1994 Legend may be one of those. If not, there are a number of after-market audio units of the identical physical dimensions and which contain the tuner, cassette, and CD player (single-disc or changer).

#66 of 788 Dreamin of a Legend by chenry4 Oct 11, 2000 (2:00 am)
I wouldn't let the dream fade...as to what to look for isn't so much in the car - Acura-s are wonderful cars, but as to who owned it, how it was driven (highway/city) and how was it maintained - regular oil/fluid changes are critical to longevity. If you can talk to the owner(s), then the only decision on a used one is if you can live with the color selection. Oh yeah, it's a good idea to spend a few hard earned bucks and have a qualified mechanic check it over thouroughly before buying.
#67 of 788 air leak by bonehead1898 Oct 13, 2000 (4:57 am)
Have a 94 GS sedan with an air leak in the driver door somewhere. Not bad, but just bugs me when the BOSE isn't on. I know it's not the window seal, but sounds like the door seal. Any suggestions. Man I LOVE this car! Replies to this message: rparrish (Jul 07, 2004 6:53 am)
#68 of 788 Silver Legend by blofeld001 Oct 19, 2000 (4:25 am)
Hello fellow Legend owners and enthusiasts! I recently found this page and decided to contribute. After looking for close to one year, I finally found my Legend (1994 GS). First of all, I want to say it was well worth the wait!! This is the type of car (as we all know) that was meant for driving - not just everyday driving, but to take out, put down the windows, and just drive - for the thrill of it! I found my Legend off the internet, as the previous (and only other) owners of the car e-mailed me several pictures of the car. The internet is a very powerful tool, and when I told my parents I found my car off the internet, they (at first) didn't believe me! But then when I told them the car was located over 150 miles away, they really saw the power! Anyway, I bought this one owner car with 110,000 miles on it - the man had every receipt from day one, including gasoline receipts! Everything was done correctly on this, as the car has never been in an accident. So, I'm up in Sarasota, Florida (where the previous owners reside) and the guy tells me a little story about the car before he gives me the keys. Now, I've read that the GS only was offered in three colors: Black, Green, and White. He also mentioned this, but on the title, original bill of sale, etc., the color reads Silver. Now, the car definitly isn't silver, except when it rains - then you can see some silver highlights in it. Well, this fella tells me how he got this car - he claims when the GS model came out in 94, a new ad campaign to promote it featured this car - he saw the car in a magazine ad, went to his Acura dealership (in Michigan) and ordered one. When asked the color, he said the same one in the magazine ad, which was also featured in some of the brosures at the dealership. The dealer told him they don't offer that color, which Acura calls Silver. After waiting several weeks, the dealership secured (on special order) the car used in the ads, and this guy paid over $41,000 for it, plus special shipping from Japan. He claims it's the only Silver GS - I've looked all over, and I have seen the color on earlier models, but never a GS. If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know. Also, I've been trying to find out how many Legends were produced in 94 and 95 - total and just GS. The car now has 112,000 miles on it, and resides in Florida - I've had to make a few modifications to it - the best thing I have found, is to buy a bra for the car - which covers the bumper and hood, and it covers up all the stone chips from the car sitting low up front. Well, time to go, but if anyone has any interesting information about the above, please share it! Also, my e-mail address is: BPLIIIworldnet.att.net Thanks, Michael

That's an awesome story! A silver Legend is rare indeed considering there is probably only a hand- full of them(including the earlier models)out there. What color is the interior? Silver on black would look really good. I'm not sure how many GS's were produced in '94 and '95 but about 70,000 Legends were sold in those years combined. I would guess that maybe 10,000(or 5,000 a year)at the most were GS models. I own a '91 so I know what great cars Legends are. I really hate that Lexus stole Acura's popularity.
#70 of 788 re: air leaks by thicks23 Oct 19, 2000 (7:24 pm)
I'm not sure what else could cause the wind noise you describe besides worn rubber molding around the door opening. My '91 has the same air leak and I know it is caused by the rubber molding which has flattened out over time. It really doesn't bother me too bad since I drive around with the radio on almost all of the time.                                                Tom
