Honda Car Forum

I am considering the purchase of a 1990 Acura Legend Sedan.

I am curious what features the L and LS models added above and beyond the
Sedan model.

Anyone have a URL that I could access to find out the details?

Thanks,
Robert

The L has power driver's seat, heated mirrors, ABS, and a security system.
(and some have leather and some don't). The LS has all of that and leather,
power passenger's seat, wood trim, auto climate control, Bose sound, and an
"information center".

This is just the list for the 1990. Some feature vary year to year.

Thanks!

Is it possible to tell the difference from looking at the car?

The car I am supposed to look at soon has leather but the owner has told me
it is a sedan, Not specifically if it is an L or LS.

Was it possible to get the sedan with leather interior?

Actually, below are the specs that have been provided to me.
According to your list, could it be a sedan with optional leather and pwer
drivers seat?
Or it could be an L and this is a partial list - missing heated mirrors,
ABS, and security.
Any external diffs between the sedan and L?


1990 Acura Legend sedan 4 dr
V6 2.7 liter
automatic
front wheel drive
about 75,000+ miles
A/C
Power steering
Power Windows
Power door locks
Power driver seat adjustment
Tilt wheel
Cruise Control
AM/FM stereo
Cassette
Leather seats
Moon roof

It is very possible that the STD model had the power seat. It is also very
possible that someone added aftermarket leather when the car was purchased.
From the outside, unless they have been removed, the LS and the L have a
badge on the back indicating that.

With only 75,000 miles on it that car should have plenty of years left
(assuming that it was well maintained.) I have an 89 legend with over
400,000 miles on it. (it wasn't well maintained later in life and so I am
getting ready to put an engine in it).

400k miles! That's a lot of miles! Good luck with the engine swap.

Actually, below are the notes that I received on the service:. Are they
consistent with your experience? Anything else I shoulkd ask for
specifically? I imagine that a new timing belt is due not too long after 75k
miles... I think I read something about a 90k Honda service that costs
around $500. Is that true?

-- Maintenance and service
-- 4 new Michelin tires 1/98
-- 1 new Michelin tire 12/31/01 because of puncture and leak in old tire
-- Passenger side outer CV boot replaced 6/99
-- Drivers side half axle replaced 12/99
-- New battery 8/99
-- front and rear brake pads replaced 6/5/01
-- New spark plugs 8/22/01
-- These are the major things I think besides the normal oil change every
3 months.
-- I did have the drivers side leather seat repaired (because of cracking
leather) 3/99
-- Otherwise car is in excellent condition. Good engine. Hasn't been
driven that much in the 13 year history.

Thanks,
Robert

Robert;

My 89 Legend Coupe only has 251,000 miles. All the things you listed I have
done. My drivetrain is still the original. I do timing belt/water pumps at
100,000-120,000 miles. 75000 is a little too soon.

Doug,

Doing them together saves on labor cost? Is that why you choose to do that.
Or do you do the work yourself.

The water pump is driven by the timing belt. So it saves a lot on labor,
and if the water pump locks up it can take out the timing belt... and then
big troubles.

But as old as the car is, I would replace the belt as soon as money allows,
because the belt can degrade over time, not just miles. The recommendation
is usually 90,000 miles or 6 years.

A had a 1989 Legend L with a 5 speed it had only 70K at 9 years of age
(1998) and I kept the mileage down for awhile and then ran it up to 170K
before selling it in 2001. I can say that the list is correct, but I would
add that I have heard and experienced that the Brake Master Cylinder rebuild
was quite common in these cars. It can cost around $300 dollars if memory
serves me correctly. I also put a new transmission (rebuilt) in this car,
but it was a 5 speed and I tend to think that my daughter playing in the car
had something to do with the shortened life of 2nd gear. When I had my
timing belt and wwater pump replaced it was due to a ingnition timing sensor
I (I think it is called TDC sensor?) that had failed and it is located
behind the timing belt. The car would not rev above about 3K once the
sensor starting failing and was often hard to crank. Overall the best car I
have ever owned and wish I still had.
