My fiancée and I have wanted one forever and we think we may've found the one.
It's a private sale in SoCal and I'm curious on what you experts think of the deal.
It's a 2009 Element EX with 130,000 miles. They're asking $9,250.
Looks great inside and out, however, our pre-purchase inspection brought up a few issues/recommendations with a total of $1,766:
-V-Tec tensioner leaks oil - $346
-Valve cover Gasket leaks oil - $135
-Rear shocks are leaking - $675
-Rear tires are dry and cracked - $370
-Recommended coolant flush - $130
-Transmission fuild replacement - $110
It looks like the KBB value based on all options and mileage is around $6,400 for a private sale, but to be honest that seems pretty low compared to other prices around here. Maybe I'm nuts.
What do you guys think? Thanks for the help.
