dallison

seems like a typo, all of the other years are consistent. i would say it had 1669 miles at the time of inspection

srika

O.G. tech...

dallison

hell, i'd buy it but not for 11,500

fuckleberry

Abducted by alien from outer space during this time ? someone drove it into a time warp ?

Shoofin

This 'aint no classic that someone in their right mind would pay that much that'll probably get stolen verrrrry quickly.. Then what do you tell your insurance company? That you paid 11,500 for a car that's only really worth a couple grand?

dallison

i think the dmv goofed

Sclass88

KBB said that that car is only worth about 3,500... Though its a nice car in pristine condition, it is certainly not worth the kind of money that the guy wants for it.

DownUnder

But that's a nice car though and probably the lowest mileage '89 Legend coupe out there.

DownUnder

Yeah, I'd like to know also.

Ken1997TL

Damn and I thought I was hot shit for finding a 15 year old Accord with 37,000 miles on it

F900

It does look in excellent condition. On that car those miles would be very easy to roll back, heck look where the picture was taken lol, you going to tell me those guys could not roll back the miles...lol

Still its clean just not worth 13K, especially with CF showing more miles...

that totally looks like a dumbass just typed in the wrong mileage, but i would still be worried about all of the components that haven't been used and lubed over that long of a time span...

GreenMonster

Looks like someone got screwed by the DMV... it was probably 1666 and 9/10's

Just another example on how CARFAX is NOT 100% reliable. Carfax data is only as accurate as the monkeys inputting the data. Garbage in Garbage out...

dallison

i would only pay book value

GreenMonster

Up to 12.5K now...

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...34#post4629834

Rich, what's Kbb value on it... I'm too lazy to look it up...

Maybe F900 will post the black book value if we ask nicely

EDIT: Cars like this don't come up that often... Some price guides only list poor, good, and excellent condition values. This car would be in a class called "Beyond Excellent", so the values in the guides won't apply.

We had another low mileage example posted here awhile ago (a 94)...

More Photos Conditions Value
Excellent $3,225
(Selected)


Good $2,875



Fair $2,475

dallison

"Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. This vehicle has never had any paint or body work and is free of rust. The vehicle has a clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection. The engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects. The vehicle also has complete and verifiable service records. Less than 5% of all used vehicles fall into this category.

SSMTL01

when were the pics taken? Perhaps before the mileage increase?

dallison

maybe pics of the receipts from the past year from the acura stealership, since they always put the mileage on em

bigman

Whatever the story, the car is f'ing clean as hell. I wish the seats in my old TL looked like that.

spdy0001

Question is "why does the car have such low mileage"

Since the car has just sat for over a decade im sure some problems will start to pop up. Stuff starts to fail when it just sits and doesn't get used

Actually, the real question is why is there a topic open about this in here when he's selling it in the Black Market? How many topics do we need for an overpriced Legend??

I'm not going to close it.... but just sayin

dallison

meh, it looks like the dealer is selling this one

fuckleberry

you joking right ? Don't you know about RonA ?

juniorbean

iTrader: (5)

Of course I know RonA. Not sure what that has to do with two topics in two different forums about the same thing.

Just b/c he keeps the Black Market clean of comments doesn't mean it needs to be posted again to discuss it.

fuckleberry

WTF are you talkin' about ????

NO discussion/chatter/comments in RonA's department --- so that FS thread is offlimit.
well maybe b/c you're mod you don't see it the way.

"Owned by a Doctor who kept in in the Hampdens and only drove it on summer weekends when it wasn't raining out"



I agree though, this car will more than likely have tons of mechanical problems poping up all over the place the minute someone starts racking up the miles on it. It's really bad for a car to sit for months at a time with all of the fluids in it, rotting everything out.

I further agree with everyone who has said this car isn't worth it. It's certainly no collectible by any means, nor is it anything special from an averave Legend aspect. The only thing that's special about it is the fact that it (looks like) it's in showroom condition. Due to it's condition, and what has been stated the KBB is, I'd say not a penny more than $4K.

That said, it's a REALLY clean looking car!

So you're saying that every time someone posts something For Sale that people feel the need to discuss they should be allowed to create a new topic in Car Talk to talk about it?

Makes no sense to me. You let one person do it, then everyone wants to do it....

BayshoreAcuraNY

owned by a doctor who only drove it on weekends because it was at his hampton house..... never rolled down the windows b/c he didn't want to scratch the windows....garage kept and covered. never driven in rain...still smells new! for sale in black market forum
