1992 Acura Vigor GS

This 1992 Acura Vigor GS is a top-trim four-door sedan with long-term Florida ownership history and 112,500 miles accrued since new, powered by a 2.5-liter inline-5 paired with a 4-speed automatic transaxle. This Vigor carries a comprehensive maintenance history showing recent service to the timing belt, tires, alignment, braking system, cooling system, and axles all within the last few years. Sold originally in California, vehicle history shows prior ownership in New Mexico before relocating to Florida in 2011 where it has resided since. Finished in Buckingham Blue Pearl over a gray leather interior, this first-year Vigor is now offered with a clean CARFAX report, an owner’s manual, factory service manual, service records, two keys with keyless fobs, and a clear Florida title in the seller’s name.

Production of the Vigor four-door sedan launched in Japan in 1991 for the 1992 model year, with the model slotted between the compact Integra and the flagship Legend in the Acura hierarchy. Design characteristics were derived from the Japanese-market Accord and included unique features such as frameless door glass, amber fog lamps, and a longitudinally-mounted motor which gave the chassis 60:40 weight distribution from front to rear. This rust-free Vigor from the initial model year is painted Buckingham Blue Pearl (B-59P) and is said to retain its original panels, fitment, and finishes. Exterior features illustrate black bodyside moldings, mud guards, chrome badging, a power-operated antenna, and dual stainless-steel exhaust finishers on a replacement muffler at the rear.

Machined aluminum 15” wheels with Acura-branded center caps are wrapped in new 205/60 Yokohama AVID Ascend GT tires that were installed in December 2021, after which a four-wheel alignment was performed by Acura of Pembroke Pines. Stopping comes from power-assisted four-wheel discs with replacement pads that were installed in 2016. Chassis architecture is comprised of an independent four-wheel double-wishbone suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars as well as power-assisted rack and pinion steering.

The interior is trimmed with gray leather bucket seats, matched to the door panels, center console, dash, carpeting, and embroidered factory floor mats. Conveniences include wood veneer dash and door panel trim, a four-way power-operated driver seat, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, cruise control, a power-operated moonroof with a sliding shade, tinted windows, and air conditioning. The audio system is a modern Kenwood DPX501BT double-DIN AM/FM/CD head unit.

Instrumentation is presented behind a leather-wrapped steering wheel and includes a 150-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The six-digit mechanical odometer reads 112,500 miles, which is a true reading supported by the CARFAX report.

The longitudinally-mounted G25 2.5-liter SOHC inline-5 was factory rated at 176 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque when new. Recent maintenance has included replacement of the cooling fan, ignition distributor assembly, and more in December 2021. The valve cover gasket was replaced in 2020, the battery was replaced in 2017, the CV axles were replaced, and the air conditioning system was retrofitted and recharged the same year. The timing belt, water pump, front seals, tensioner, main relay, and drive belts were changed in 2015. The seller notes that there is noted oil seeping from the rear main seal which is customary for age and mileage, and the ABS light is illuminated. Power is sent to the front wheels via a console-shifted 4-speed automatic transaxle with a limited-slip differential.
