I recently decided that my life will never be complete without a Honda Element. After some extensive research I decided to go for the manual 06-07 AWD (or 4x4...*apparently a touchy subject*.) Finally, I found one that meets all my requirements! (minus the fact that it's not blue, doesn't have the plastic panels (hence the ex-*P*), and doesn't have a roof rack...)
p.s. I know this is a reach, BUT if anyone lives near Chattanooga and happens to commute by the area where this Element is located and woud like to help me out...I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER...or....just be very very thankful!
Although the auction ended a couple of weeks ago, you could have looked at the carfax from the auction site just by clicking on the history tab above the picture.
Best of luck with your search. Watch out for those good 'ol car dealers.
They offered us 6K to 7K for ours on trade in because they say nobody wants one and that's why Honda dealers don't stock many, anymore. Yet, one dealer had one identical to ours, only 1 yr newer and not as well cared for. They are asking $16,998 for it.
When I brought that up, he could have won America's Got Talent with his fancy tap dancing. :lol:
I love my 2003 Element! But now, at 17 years old, I am considering replacing it. Car still drives well but there are a lot of noises, suspensions are not 100%, passengers window doesn't open from driver's side, have trouble opening car with key on the drivers side, doors springs can't keep them...
I'm looking at buying an Element in Sac. Anyone have a line on a mechanic that knows these cars and would do a pre-purchase inspection in Sac? I'd hope they know something about pricing too, since these cars for for substantially over book.
First post :)
Thanks!
Hey! I found an 05 element awd with 117k miles... i talked him down to 3k but this is the info in the add and i have NEVER owned an element? I am beyond nervous that i'm gonna make a mistake buying this thing but maybe someone here knows what these repairs mean and if there's any glaringly...
I found a pretty 07 Element ex with only 85k. at a scummy big dealer.The car fax showed it had valve cover gaskets repaired at about 70k, a torque converter done at 34k and some fuel intake thing around 20k. It also showed it was aligned 3 times. Too me, it seems like those were some major...
I'm thinking about buying 2003 Element with 132xxx miles on it. Not looking for a show car, just something reliable that will last and get me from point A to point B. What should I be asking the seller about and what should I look for when I test drive the car?
Can't post link to the add since...
