Sitting on the showroom floor

Went to get an oil change for the MDX this morning and yes, there were two new RLs on the lot and yes, there were two ZDXs (nice car!) as well, but sitting on the showroom floor was this beautiful 1986 Legend (sorry for the lousy cell phone pix).

Less than 2000 miles on this?? Nice looking car (reminds me of the Toyota Cressida). Not sure if it's worth the 25K they are asking for it, but someone will probably buy it.

Wow, what a blast from the past. Beautiful car and a wonderful precursor for the 2G Legend and our RL. They really want $25k for it?

This will be much more appreciated in Car Talk, so I am moving the thread there.

as first i was like: WTF, what kind of dealer would degrade themselves and do this...

and then i realized, as i hope you guys did, that Acura started in 1986!! thats one of the first Acura's ever produced!! nice!

now as soon as acura makes a sports car and gains more respect throughout the world, that car might actually go up in value...

Depending on when in 1986 it was produced, it MIGHT fetch that much.

I thought you guys typo'd when I saw 25K. I really thought it was 2.5K.

But seriously??? 25K?? They can put it in their pipe and smoke it!.

Meh.

It's cool that it has low mileage/has been taken care of, but otherwise, I've never really had interest in older cars with a few small exceptions.

Sorry.
I like newer cars...

Look, when you have a choice betwen the old Legend, or a ZDZ, a TL, a RDX, or RL..........you put the Legend on the showroom floor.

It also helps the janitorial staff from moping up less from customers who typically become ill after viewing the current Acura product line (sans MDX)

If I were rich and had an extra 25k to blow, I'd buy it, but like someone else said if it were a 2G GS coupe in 6sp it would have a much better chance of fetching that much. Still props to Davis Acura for keeping that thing clean. I've heard good things about that dealership.

It would have to be the most die-hard and richest Acura loyalist to purchase this.
And when that poor soul does; the minute he/she drives it off the lot, it becomes a $2,500 car.

Was this car previously titled or is this a car the dealership just held onto?
