Just got a 2004 ex awd with 144,000 miles on it for $3,800.. I'm the 3rd owner. The previous owner, for the 5 years he owned it, had put about $9,000 into it. I'm happy with the purchase. Such a joy to get into it every time
I know this video is old but watching all these element videos made me impulse buy one, got me a 2010 ex auto fwd.. really wish I waited for a awd standard but I’m in love so far.. would love to hang out with all of you in the future
10-21-2022. Just bought mine for $4000. 2007 SC Model. 140K Miles. This was WELL UNDER Market Value. Seller said "IT NEEDS RIGHT FRONT STRUT". There had been a constant stream of people looking at it. At that price I was the first one there with CASH IN HAND. I EXPECTED it to have MORE problems than stated and I was right. ALL Struts front and back are being replaced. There was NO GIVE in the Suspension AT ALL. The constant banging had destroyed the right side Lower Support and complete brake job needed as well. Everything else is near perfect so no complaints. After the "amateur" lowering job is corrected I will be getting some decent tires to replace the POOREST excuse for a Tire: Achilles ATR SportZ. They are hard as a ROCK. NO traction at all.
Thank you for these great tips! I was able to find my first Element (2005 EX AWD) this weekend and I am super excited to take it on my outdoor adventures.
@@Element_lifestyle '08 EX AWD! Only 92k miles, all work done at a Honda dealership. very clean, couldn't find a spot of rust on it. I even looked at the hinges under the flap of the tailgate. The Seats weren't even ripped. The owner took outstanding care of it.
You mentioned a middle location for meetups between west coast and Tail of the Dragon. If there is a lot of mountain/gravel bike crossover in the community, Northwest Arkansas may be a good option.
Bought mine 2004. Now 250K. No AC, radio, paint discolored by tree sap, not sure anymore on hills, someone tried to steal the catalytic converter (now welded on), need new shocks. But I still love it. But one if you can. I"d like to see someone turn an old element into an RV, taking out the engine and reusing the shell for living quarters.
I found a little rust inside the car, drivers side. Visible when you remove the side panel to remove the gauge cluster. I have never seen that in any car I have owned.
Hello from New York City, this was a really informative video. Wish you were on the east Coast. It's tough for a woman to get an honest quote when certain work needs to be done on a car. I'm looking to buy an Element, and from my research, it shows that the 2005, 2007, 2010 & 2011 are the best years to try to get. Would you agree? Any additional information would be appreciated. Thanks
I watched this hoping to see exactly what parts underneath the car to look for rust on. Like the trailing arms and what else? Also, how do you know if the rust is light and ok to buy, or if it’s too much rust and not worth it.
Great video Miguel, I will be very interested in the rear door auto lock and the OEM handle. Please let me know when it will be available. Thank you again
What should a decent pre-purchase inspection cost (ball park), and where would be the best place to get one? Honda dealership? Good pointers, thanks Miguel!
Gracias looking to buy another one my current one went out had it for 16 years! The motor mouths need to get fixed so I hope! Still gonna try and keep it. Finding a mechanic in LA is so hard. Any recommendations welcomed.
Love your videos. I want your help with my 2008 honda element LX AWD, the catalytic converter was stolen and I like to know what is your recommendation for any good aftermarket catalytic converters to install on my car that would make it runs fine with no check engine light. Thank you.
Thank you , nothing bad with having a 2WD especially if you just city driving. Awd just add more resale value to an element and the awd could help people in the snow on when car camping in other different types of terrain
So your around a lot of different year elements, I’ve seen they say stay away from the 03-04 and 07-08 elements, what’s your opinion? I’m trying to find one for myself
I unfortunately didn’t find your channel until after I bought my Element. I have loved learning from your videos. I respect your opinion as to what I should do. I found out today I have a bad transmission mount because my rack and pinion is leaking on it and disintegrated it (basically). In addition my struts are leaking and so is my variable valve timing solenoid. I’m trying to decide if my element is worth fixing. I love it but things keep popping up with it. What do you recommend? (Just interested in your opinion)

What does the CRUISE , what is its function in the Honda Element?

Queens NYC has good ones
Love your channel.. so I see alot of AWD elements. Its it bad to have a 2 wheel drive one?

Hi sir. On your video 42:20 i heared noise on my suspension area. What do you think? Just bought it last week
Thx
Is there a link to this guy's channel?
very good move
Want to buy a element in europe can you help
I am looking at a 2003 125,000 miles for $3900 - but the passenger door has been rammed in by a deer. Will replacing the door cost too much
How much for the Ecamper
Hey I finally saw your face 👍
i saw element that was lowered and element that are lifted and they both look nice, in your own preference which one is better?
I prefer a lifted element
Audio is good in year 2023 Dec
🙏
It was and 06 for 9 to much right?
Was going to buy an 2013 for 9k but blue book says that's to much offered 5k no response. I'll keep trying.
What if the hose connection is rusted right next to the wide belt and connecting bolts?
I will recheck all other parts to see how bad the corrosion is
What’s the difference between the ex lx and sc is all ex Awd and have sunroof
Great question , I’ll have to make a video of them.
I have a 2007 Honda Element
So your around a lot of different year elements, I’ve seen they say stay away from the 03-04 and 07-08 elements, what’s your opinion? I’m trying to find one for myself
I have a 2004 EX. Love it. No major issues.
Hi Miguel, what is your opinion on high mileage elements? Is there a mileage limit you would recommend when buying an element?
My same question and what year is too old to buy?
@@pushhard2 I don't think there's a year that's too old to buy yet. elements are the modern day VW bus.
Hi, I like to buy element from
140k to 180k miles
I have 194 thousand miles on mine and still got offer 8 thousand for it .mine is a 2003 Honda Element EX all wheel drive .I love mine
I want your ecamper how much
Thats insane..$6100 with an ecamper. The ecamper alone is 8k+. I just checked. $9825 for the ecamper with addons. You got a free car...
Thank you , I got lucky
How many miles is to many miles from a Element 200, 000 miles ?
Do you still have one of your elements for sale ? Or do you know someone who is selling one? Thanks
I will have one for sale soon
Hey guys is it okay to buy one with a high mileage or what do you guys think?
As long as the body is good and not rust , I will buy it for the right price.
Anyone has or know someone who has a pair of running boards for sale for an element
Traducelo al español por favor
$19k 2004 element one owner 30k original miles. Looks like new (even the drivers seat). Good deal?
I bought my 03 in may of 03 for $20,400 out the door. Automatic AWD. I think the price they are asking is a bit high.
Fwd or awd?
It better have been awd and manual

Honda discontinued the Element out of its production line.
Don’t buy one from Canada they had buybacks on some of the models. Apparently dealing with rear frame.
I have one in Ontario Canada I’ve had it since 2006 regularly rust proofed and got the recall done on the rear frame.
