Price: US $3,450.00
I was in California a few years ago
and picked up this red beauty from a local dealer. It was an impulse buy, as
I'm a Buick guy at heart. This car looks great and drives great, but as time
went by I found myself going back to the luxury comforts of the Buick.
This was not the hatch's fault. Mechanically, I enjoyed the smooth ride, reliability, and 'uniqueness' factor. To that last point, I've seen
approximately one like it here in South Austin.
I had a friend in high school who
owned a late 80's Acura Legend. He drove it like a mad man, but I always felt
safe in the passenger's seat. My feeling of security had nothing to do with his
driving (which was life-threatening), but everything to do with the confidence
that this car could handle anything. I'll never forget the day he ran over a
bunch of orange cones because he didn't want to merge. That Legend took it like
a champ. I mention that because when I sit behind the wheel of this Integra, I
get that same feeling of security. There's something about these late
80's/early 90's Acuras that seems to celebrate the glory days of Honda...at
least for me.
If I were going to keep it, I would replace the antenna (which is broken). I'd
also probably have the fender/bumper touched up. You'll see what I mean with
the pictures. Here is a list of the most common questions I've received from
interested parties:
Why are you selling this vehicle?
I bought the car a few years ago, when it was at 88k. It was my daily driver
for about 6 months, but then I switched back over to my Park Avenue. That's a
huge part of why I'm selling - I learned that I prefer a good luxury sedan
instead of a sport vehicle.
When was the timing belt last changed?
The timing belt was changed at 63k.
Is it still reliable?
Mechanically, the only things I've changed are the oil and battery. I was
commuting about 10 miles per day, total, before switching back to my other car.
The ride is smooth, and I haven't experienced any slipping or jerking of the
transmission. I think this car is the definition of 'daily driver'.
Are you aware of any maintenance that is
needed on the car?
The only maintenance I can foresee are regular oil changes. Cosmetically, the
antenna needs to be replaced and bumper/fender touched up.
How long have you owned the vehicle?
I've owned the car since March 2014, and used it as my daily driver for the
first 6 months before switching back to my Buick.
Do you know how well the car was
maintained by the previous owners?
I am the third owner. According to the records I received, the vehicle was
maintained regularly by the previous two owners.
Has the car been involved in any
wrecks? You mentioned the front bumper
needs to be touched-up. What caused the
damage?
When I began looking at the Acura, I purchased the Autocheck records and hired
an independent inspector to take a look. Neither report indicated it had been
in any wrecks, and I've had no accidents. As far as the chipping on the
bumper/fender areas, this was the condition when I purchased it. I assumed I
would eventually have it touched up, but never got around to it.
Is this a nonsmoker car?
Yes.
What condition are the tires in?
The tires have at least 75% tread, and are relatively new.
Do all of the power options work?
The windows, locks, and all electronic options work.
Is the check engine light on?
No.
Have you changed any parts recently?
I changed the battery in 2013.
If you have any other questions, please send me
a message and I will do my best to answer them. Thanks for looking, and best of
luck!
