  • Once upon a time Acura seemed to get a lot more respect than they seem to nowadays; when they abandoned the Legend name (as well as Integra, although that's now back) seems to be when things started turning a little bit for the worse. So today we stumbled across this insanely nice condition and very low mileage last year example of the second generation Legend sedan; which was also the last year that the Legend name itself was used. Join us as we take a walk around the outside, look in the trunk, under the hood and spend some time admiring the inside of this phenomenal sedan, taking us back almost thirty years in just over nine minutes...Please Subscribe and Like (and Turn On Notifications!) in order to not miss any future episodes of interesting things we find in the junkyard. Thanks for watching!

    You would figure that they would get more money selling it as a whole and not in the junkyard. That car doesn't belong there. Sad.

    Odd that it was a "special edition" but didn't come with auto climate control that was standard on LS trim. By now I bet so many of the parts are gone off this treasure...

    What a shame! I love these 2nd gen Legends and I had a '94 from '97-'02. I have to admit that I hated these Special Editions when they came out because of the two-tone paint. It seemed like Acura was copying the Lexus ES at the time.
    You have to wonder how a car in such good condition (and that should have been good for 200k+ miles) ended up here. I suppose a blown engine or transmission might have been enough if they only thought of it as a 29yr old car. But it looks like it has some major potential for someone with the time and money!

      "It seemed like Acura was copying the Lexus ES300 at the time"...who was certainly copying Mercedes in that regard! I was a long-time first generation Legend fan but these second generations have finally grown on me to where I now prefer the sedans at least, the coupes I still prefer the visual litheness of the older cars. Thanks for watching!

      Sorry, it appears to have gone to the crusher a few weeks ago...

    Can that be purchased and restored?

      No, once they are in the junkyard they are there for good, unfortunately.

      No idea, I liked it too, it really was in phenomenal condition, especially the interior. I'm guessing older person, original owner, and then maybe timing belt...? Or the other usual possibility with a low mile spotless car and nobody in the family that lived far away wanted to deal with the usual random craigslist and facebook scam buyers and didn't want a near-30yo car for themselves.
