I recently purchased a 1992 Acura Legend with 47K miles on it. It is a 5 SPEED!!! with the factory Bass Tube and 6 disk CD changer. It is black with black interior. I got it for $4000. I'd like to know a few things.

1.) Is that a decent price considering the mileage?
2.) what are some problem areas? THe car recently had a radiator, brake booster, timing belt, and a few other odds and ends replaced since the dealership recommended it! (actually did some searching and realized the cooling system isnt' the best on this car)
3.) What are some real world gas mileage numbers for this car? I am going to be using it as a commuter car so I can keep something else fun in the garage.
4.) Do 17" or 18" wheels fit? What offsets/widths should I be looking at to keep a relatively stock ride, but get a decent handling improvements (I am assuming 17's). I have a set of winter rims coming with the car so i'll probably stick some summer only tires on it to get the most grip possible.
5.) anything else I should know about the car? I know it is a honda, so it should run FOREVER...and I plan on doing that!!

THanks for the help!

That's an excellent price for that mileage.

Back when I had some HREs for mine I think it was some stupid crazy offset like +55 or something. I've come to the realizating that fwd is pretty gay.
So what's the matter, couldn't get a 6 speed?

+55!!! Wow that is pretty crazy. I thought the +38 was high for our Mini Cooper S.

Well, what fits, fits i guess. I'll have to see what I can get for the car in a nice subdued 16" or 17" just to give it a little more 'sporty' look.

Eh. I could be completely wrong. I don't remember. It's been quite some time since I gave a shit about my Legend.

i have stock 16 inch with 245/50/16 tires under my 95 legend coupe.
i polised the rims,so they look like chrome...so a god look and driving like a go cart
