Howard,
I also own a 90 Acura Legend Coupe. It has been running
excellently for the last 9 years. Yes, it is true that
you have to have the timing belt, water pump, etc. replaced
every 60,000 miles. (I had mine done also at 75,000 miles
along with the CVC boots, etc.). It's in the service
manual. All Hondas and Acuras require the timing belt
change; inherent in the design. But if you own an Acura,
then you can afford it anyways. You can fix your automatic
antenna yourself if you buy the antenna part from the
Dealer; about $50. Check the instructions in the service
manual. As to the cassette player, you can replace it with
an aftermarket CD (Alpine) magazine player for about
$300 installed. Check with Circuit City.
If you want a better car, you will probably have to pay
more monies ($30,000 to $35,000). Have you seen the new
car prices lately? Check out the new Mercedes 420s.
