older guy who owned it was surprised I was interested in it. Talked briefly about it. He said that parts were getting quite difficult to find for it. We were both at NAPA auto parts. In other news I spent 10 hours trying to remove my CV axle. Succeeded in moving it 1/8th inch. Apparently the Camry/Solara has issue where I tube intermediate shaft bearing will seize/rust to the bearing mount in rust belt states. This makes it essentially impossible to remove by all conventional means, including rust penetration, heating and cooling cycles, hammering, and prying . I will be acquiring a 10 ton hydraulic wedge tomorrow to forcibly remove the stubborn part.

Had one of these briefly. The sunroof leaked like a rusty dingy. It needed a wheel bearing but was otherwise clean and unmolested . It felt like a luxury EF Civic. I didn’t hate it. I didn’t like it either. It was certainly a lot more of a car than any other Honda of the era except the NSX. For that reason, they’re worth saving.

First year 87 Legend was the first car I bought myself in high school for I think $5k in 1994. I loved that car. One of the few without a sunroof or leather and with a manual transmission. Only ever replaced wear parts (that I can recall, it was a long time ago). The 2.5 V6 was more than quick enough to be fun and not get me in too much trouble.
