@@nubiusFinding them cheap in rural towns. I picked one up in Austin TX for $9k with a new suspension and front moon roof. Replacing the rotors and brakes today actually.
@@peppernickelly $9k is not cheap for 13+year old vehicle. But yeah they are in high demand and your are often competing against fanatics who are trying to buy a replacement for their element that is either crashed or just clapped out. Unfortunately there isn't a suitable replacement either. The Kia Soul is still in production and a great vehicle for what it is, but for many it is not space efficient enough. The Nissan cube is a great street version to the element's off road style but loses points with the cvt trans. I own a cube and love it so much. I've always wanted an element but I feel like I've missed out on the sweet spot of getting a good used model. There are rumors of a toyo mini land cruiser. But nothing is confirmed yet... I'm hoping 2-3 years. And I believe the element cult is a major driving force in the rumors. Cheers!
@@skully70 I figured $9k in 2021 for a 2007 Element SC with a new suspension in Austin TX was fair, no rust. Working on it is crazy easy, very affordable to repair, and is a good general work/camping vehicle. It just so happen to be the best replacement in my area at the time for my totaled 2014 Ford Transit Connect. The door handles actually work, the dashboard and interior panels are nice and not made out of wax and the headlights are great with LED replacements... Not a part of the fan club but its a great resource when needed. Kai Soul and the Cube are good comparisons but I tend to work in random remote places any time of the year. For my day trips, I drive a 2014 Toyota Gen 3 Prius for that sweet 46MPG highway and 53MPG around town. I'm good on vehicles for a good long while.
Loved my 2010 Honda Element EX. Sold it at 225,000 miles. Never had any trouble with it. Surprisingly spacious and the sound system with the subwoofer in front was awesome.
@@thomaskim5008 no repair needed. I was only looking for something new. Years later and still there's so much about that car that I've never found in the 5-6 cars I've had since that Element.
All of the seats fold completely flat and they make a queen sized bed. from the dashboard to the tailgate. Great for camping and long road trips without motel bills.
The best in snow was the ex on demand awd. Had a 06 5spd manual and an 08. The 06 seats folded fwd, you could sleep on the floor or have an elevated sleep platform. The 08 a/t seats didn't fold fwd. Good car but noisy on the fwy!
I almost went with in 2010 specifically for the flat folding seat. Ended up sacrificing that with my Versa hatchback, but the back seats in the versa are much more comfortable. 15 yes 150k miles, versa also doing great. I've had people ask a few times about buying it.
2007 Honda fit here. Bought it new. 263,000 miles hard miles and running strong. Doesn't look very pretty anymore. My fault. Interior incredibly spacious...an optical illusion! "Fit" a clothes dryer in it (with closed hatch). "Fit" a medium ATV in it (with closed hatch). When get help loading stuff at Costco the guys cannot believe what "fits"! Best car we've ever owned.
Not surprised that all 3 are Honda. The Element has a cult following for people who like to camp inside their vehicles. It is also a known issue for bad people to steal the catalytic converter from them. So much so, a 3rd party company makes an aftermarket part to help prevent the theft. I've not heard much about the Crosstour, tbh. Can't say much about it. ngl, the Fit was my dream car a few years back. Managed to get one as my 2nd car. Loved it. Forget the year I had, but did end up trading that one in for a 2018 Fit, which I still drive and love. I can squeeze into small parking spots and when the low gas light comes on, it costs me maybe $25 to fill it. Never had any issues with the smoothness of my drives with it, but my daily commute also doesn't deal with too many patched roads or potholes. I was excited about the Fit back in 2020, when Honda was showing off a couple new models at a car show, I believe in Japan. Showed some hybrid models and different tier specs for them. Soon after showing those off, they discontinued the Fit in the US. Such a sad day.
My 05 Element has 340,000 miles on it with no issues since I bought it in 2018. A guy in FL has a few of them with over 500k miles. K24 engine is primo
Honda's CVTs are actually really good nowadays. That said, their 5 and 6 speed autos were unbeatable. Stupid reliable like Toyota but way more fun to drive
No they won't. When they were new and in their prime yeah but nowadays they're anywhere from 21-13 years old. Age is undefeated and will eventually take its toll.
If you live in the rust belt or anywhere they use salt in winter do not buy an Element. Honda had/has a huge safety recall on them. The unibody rusts out where the rear trailing arms connect. Some get a “bolt on” support bracket if caught early enough. Others are bought back for pennies by Honda and scrapped. Also maybe it depends on where you live but i haven’t seen a good condition Element for less than $6k cdn for years
I had an 03 and currently own an 04 bought new. No transmission issues over 240.000 K miles and AWD. Back seats fold to the side so you can put even more stuff. Have replaced VTEC Solenoid once $83 bucks.
The short wheel base makes for a very choppy ride. It's like riding in a kids rocking horse. BUT... I still love them. They have a very tight turning radius. FUN to drive.
Be careful with any 20 year old car, if it spent life on salted road. I was in the market for a used car a few years ago, and I looked at the Element. It had a recall in Canada that it didn't have in the US. They figured cars drive on salted roads more in Canada than the US, so they pretty much ignored the northern states. Here: Honda is recalling all 2003-2011 Element SUVs, warning of rusting rear frames that could result in the complete separation of the rear trailing arm. I couldn't say about other models. You are lucky to get ten years out of a vehicle without some significant rust, up here.
Got an 06 CRV SE in black a couple years ago. Had 182,000 miles with one owner. The thing is an absolute time capsule that came with every amenity you could still want and nothing you don’t. Nice ten spoke aluminum wheels, fitted floor mats for the front, passengers and hatch, heated leather seats, roof rack, hood splitter, heated mirrors, sun roof, hard case for the second spare tire mounted on the hatch and a six disc cd changer that’s awesomely dated but works flawlessly with a Bluetooth adapter. I love my Honda.
I have a 2008 Honda Element with 240,000 miles. We recently had to repair the R&P, shocks and struts and the water pump but those were the first major repairs I've had to do since we bought it new. It's a workhorse.
Used my 2005 Element for 6000 mile car camping trip . 5 spd got 26 mpg. Had some really rough roads. Not an ounce of trouble. Love this car but ready for automatic..clutch leg. 73 years old
I thought about getting an Element recently, so I joined some Facebook groups for Element owners and started looking around for affordable models. I regularly see these going for $12,000-$17,000. If you want a "cheap" one, it has 300,000 miles and is in rough shape.
Love my 2004 Honda. best reliable & most affordable car ever 🚗 $1000 and has only 130,000 miles, don’t laugh it’s paid for. I Maintain it regularly and meticulously. I fully expect to have this for 10 more years
We have a 2003 Element with 250,000 miles on it, and it is running like a dream. We bought it in 2016 for $3,000. Living in a beach town, we get offers about once a month for it.
A low rust Element in good shape with 150,000 miles or less is a $8,000 vehicle right now, and I think there is higher demand for the Honda Fit. Even with high mileage those things are listing above $5,000. Also, delivery people would pick these cars up quickly if they were really cheap.
The VIN will tell you where the color was manufactured. The first letter or # is country . (J= Japan, 1= US, 2= Canada, 5 = US newer …. Ie south). This is consistent for US sold vehicles.
I have a 2003 Honda Element EX FWD automatic with 267,000 miles that my Dad bought in 2003. It is a great vehicle! I also have a 2010 Honda Fit base with 158,000 miles and an automatic transmission. I really enjoy both of these cars, and both have lots of room for their exterior size! The Fit is also a great car for when gas is expensive. The only problem I had with the Fit was the Milano red paint is terrible, and the clear coat came off the roof. I got it professionally painted the newer Radiant Red Metallic II paint found on newer Odysseys, Pilots, Ridgelines and Passports. It is really nice paint in the sun.
I have a 2006 Honda element 250,000 miles cold a/c runs great no rust. I just sold 2011 Honda fit 285,000 still great car. I have a 2008 Honda fit 252,000 a/c no rust 5 sp
I remember Honda agreeing to build their factory out there. Then they bought up a test track that was a little further out. My dad was a builder and was building in Sidney Ohio. Honda used to make a really dependable vehicles
my current vehicle is an '04 Element 256k, runs perfect. My last vehicle was an '04 Element 261k. paid $6600 total for both used. Can't believe they stopped making them.
I had a 2006 Honda Element. Loved that car. Ended up with 267K on engine / transmission. Was still running great when I rolled it off I17 north of Phoenix at Bloody Basin doing 75 mph. Sad day!
As most of us know the Pontiac Vibe is just a Toyota Matrix with the Pontiac emblem on it. But enough people don't know that so you can get one at least somewhat cheaper than a Matrix.
I had a 2008 Element EX…LOVED IT! At 280K miles I gave it to my mom because it was solid…reliable..and super easy for her to step in and out of. She LOVED IT! After she passed my Brother took it and still has it…I think it’s like 315K miles on it now…only thing that needed to be repaired was the suspension. I loved that Element. My Labrador Retrievers loved it…it was easy to haul lots of mulch and gardening stuff and had TONS of head and legroom (I’m tall and so is my brother). One of my favorite cars I’ve ever owned.
I had a 2006 Honda Element for 11 years, best car ever, 0 issues. The Catalytic Converter was eventually stolen so I had to get rid of it. Saddest day of my life. I miss it every day.
Bought a brand new Element in 04. AWD, 5 spd, drove it 386k until an accident. Now in an 03. When all is maintained (oil changes etc) I can get 31 mpg on flat highway. Great car!
I bought a 2003 Element off lease in 2005 and it was possibly the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Being single I tossed the rear seats and had plenty of space for my big Labrador Retriever and cargo. In over 250,000 miles the only major repairs/replacements were brakes, tires, exhaust and, strangely, the ignition switch. I'd buy another in a heartbeat, if I could find one.
More than one gigging musician knows about the magic of this vehicle. The suicide doors provide plenty of clearance to comfortably load cabinets and amps galore.
I bought mine for $10k, put $2k into some maintenance, 120k miles, manual trans. I am very happy with my toaster. Its a GREAT one person RV. I can sleep in it, it has a removable sunroof in the back, tail gate, and 4wd or all wheel drive. I can tow a small trailer. I can go off road in Colorado... and I have.
My 2003 Element's ignition froze up with the key stuck in it. There was a recall on it but that had expired by the time I bought in 2020. It also would cut out on me and coast at about 65 mph but eventually would kick back in. I'd avoid the 2003 and '04. They did work the bugs out and it was considered very reliable in its last years.
The Honda Element was a great vehicle. Try to find one with an ounce of life left in it for sale though. Its cargo area can hold a MTB standing up. The drivetrain, suspension, and interiors are the available used ones out there are all used up.
Had a 2004 before trading in 2010. Camped many nites and bought the accessory curtain to shield the windows. Left the rear driver side seat out for more storage. Only trade because I needed more space .
I loved my element when I had it, And it was a freaking Tank! Saved my life I'm pretty sure. At first I didn't like the boxy look but it is such a nice vehicle.
Honda Element - The AWD my friend had got stuck in the snow, only the right wheels were powered, no LSD. Another friend has the 2wd version, around 200K miles and lots of problems, now its the electrical - the whole dash went out.
Saw one for sale by someone who wasn’t ready. Prolly his wife told him to sell it. Said the buyer must agree to the maintenance schedule, must have driven stick for at least 5 years, agree not to tune/modify and use OEM parts.
If you find an element for cheap, look under it. they rust bad if you live in prone areas. also lots of suspension issues pop up around 200k. If you find an EX near either cost with under 150k on it expect to pay $$$ - 2005 EX owner since 2008 w/240k on the clock
Merchandise is priced by competition & buyer willingness, not by cost plus. It is a price target - cost. This is true of bread and private jets...and anything between. If it was cost plus we'd all be still driving Model Ts
Still comes to cost cutting for the manufacturers just like Ford thought it was cheaper to pay lawsuits instead of spending less $100 per car to change the position of the gas tank on the Pinto.😮
@@charlesphilhower1452 that memo sunk them. All RWD hatches at the time had the same problem. Gas tanks left over from trunk models of the 60s driven hard into the diff. Many had a rear facing gasoline fill that would break as well. Even my MGB had a rear gas cap above the bumper with an exposed fill hose in the trunk.
Mine has 400,000 kms. Runs perfectly, doesn't burn or leak oil. Ugly, yes. But I started it in -35C weather....half a rotation on the starter and it fired. Can't bring myself to replace it
A decade ago I went to Hawaii and saw tons of Honda Elements. It was a great car if you are a surfer or have tons of thing to carry around. Also lots of room and head room. I always wanted to get one but they are hard to find.
My 2007 Honda Element is the only vehicle I wish I still owned. I had to give it up (trade-in) for a Honda Odyssey when my wife found out she was pregnant with our third son. The Element is only a four-seater, so that wouldn't work for us. It had the best sound system of any vehicle I've ever owned, it was comfortable, spacious, and great for camping.
2006 Honda fit/ jazz, best car i have ever owned, but wish i'd bought the manual instead of the cvt. Transmission has to be babied to last. Has a common rumble vibration on take-off which is annoying. Other than that, a great car
I live in the Puget Sound region near Seattle. Prices for the Crosstour and Element here are ridiculous. You could buy a used Genesis/Equus of the same model year and mileage for less money. (And before anyone starts to rake me over the coals, I'm aware of the difference in maintenance costs. Just sayin'.....)
I have a 2008, you don't need to take the seats out. They hang and fold very convenient. Great for camping, lots of room. Engine is great, I am at 141K. It also, has rubber mats that come out easy to clean, LOVE my Element
Scotty I live up in Canada I have a 2009 Honda Element front wheel drive with almost 400,000 km on it. And yes it has a few issues but it's still going strong, I wish they would make them again.
Come on man!!! lol!!! There’s no way you can buy that car for 2 grand. You might be able to buy that on marketplace for like 6 grand but only if you are quick to the punch. Two thousand these days gets you a beater with a lot of problems!
Scotty, I have a 2012 Fit and you are spot on as to its value. Owned it since new. 105K miles. However, its only flaw is gas mileage. Due to its high rev'ing engine I average 23/24 in the city and 30 on the highway. It has never gotten 40 mpg. The newer Fits rev lower and have a green mode but not this model. Also be aware Bill
yeah, in the usa 3rd gen fits are CVT (and made in mexico?), unlike 1st and 2nd gen automatics, which don't get as good mpg as you might expect out of a small car. manuals are more efficient but i don't know how to drive one....
Not sure if it's true for modern vehicles, but when I worked in the insurance industry 8 years ago, one of the digits in the VIN indicated the country in which the vehicle was manufactured. If I remember correctly, it was the 3rd digit of the VIN.
My 2008 Element has 240,000 miles, and its still my day to day work car when I dont ride a motorcycle. But It just need struts and some minor fluff, and buff...and I fit my cb750/4 Honda in the back when I remove the seats.
My 2005 still runs great with 235,000 miles, but had problems. I spent thousands replacing the front suspension, radiator, condenser, starter(2x), window regulator (2x), VVT, wheel bearings, etc. Transmission seal.
If the VIN starts with J, it was built in Japan. I believe W is Germany. It's not really a comment, just a thing I know, or at least I know it used to be true. My old F-350 had a Windsor V8 and a 3 speed manual. It was a bullet proof engine. I think it could pull a single wide mobile home, so much torque or if a gasoline engine with a super strong transmission. It was about as fuel efficient as an Abrams tank with a top speed of about 60 mpg, but man it ran great. I stupidly sold it to buy a new Dodge RAM 2500 Diesel. The RAM was good, but it just did the same thing my F-350 did every day, only it came with a payment. I was not real smart in the late 80's.
Buick stopped making LaSabre. That's when I started crying. The one I drove lasted over 500,000 miles. Half way through the transmission had to be replaced. Other than minor things and regular maintenance, she ran beautifully.
If you just care about function there are lots of cheap cars. I got a 05 Ford focus wagon I paid 2500 for in 2015. Only thing ive done to is besides oil and a battery is changed the motor mount. Thats it. Gets me to work like everything else.
I miss my Elements. I had two. Ugh. Perfect damned SUV for hiking and travelling. Wash it out with a hose. All the room you'd ever need. On my second CRV ... not the same.
My wife’s 2016 Subaru Outback @ 73, 000 miles dropped a valve total motor loss , their solution , they offered us a 86,000 mile motor w/ 2 year warranty ( $9k), or trade in on new ( $3,500 trade value on new outback) found a recall on valve spring, Subaru says not our motor , so much for mfg integrity or PR . ⚜️🇺🇸⚜️

@@Gavrielle_Am_Yisrael_Chai really good question. got yer hands full and these days yer and my wallet is light!
I bought one for $900 a 2003. And another one for $2300 another 2003
Uhh, the VIN tells what factory it was made in. Weird you didn't know that.
Honda element has a cult like following .. Not cheap
Right. I Was going to say - where are those cheap?
Very popular in the northwest. Perfect for camping and outdoor activities.
@@nubiusFinding them cheap in rural towns. I picked one up in Austin TX for $9k with a new suspension and front moon roof. Replacing the rotors and brakes today actually.
@@peppernickelly $9k is not cheap for 13+year old vehicle. But yeah they are in high demand and your are often competing against fanatics who are trying to buy a replacement for their element that is either crashed or just clapped out. Unfortunately there isn't a suitable replacement either. The Kia Soul is still in production and a great vehicle for what it is, but for many it is not space efficient enough. The Nissan cube is a great street version to the element's off road style but loses points with the cvt trans.
I own a cube and love it so much. I've always wanted an element but I feel like I've missed out on the sweet spot of getting a good used model. There are rumors of a toyo mini land cruiser. But nothing is confirmed yet... I'm hoping 2-3 years. And I believe the element cult is a major driving force in the rumors. Cheers!
@@skully70 I figured $9k in 2021 for a 2007 Element SC with a new suspension in Austin TX was fair, no rust. Working on it is crazy easy, very affordable to repair, and is a good general work/camping vehicle. It just so happen to be the best replacement in my area at the time for my totaled 2014 Ford Transit Connect. The door handles actually work, the dashboard and interior panels are nice and not made out of wax and the headlights are great with LED replacements... Not a part of the fan club but its a great resource when needed. Kai Soul and the Cube are good comparisons but I tend to work in random remote places any time of the year. For my day trips, I drive a 2014 Toyota Gen 3 Prius for that sweet 46MPG highway and 53MPG around town. I'm good on vehicles for a good long while.
Honda:
1. Element
2. CrossTour
3. Fit
You're welcome.

Thanx

Thanks
Props for using "you're" instead of "your". Maybe there's hope after all.
Thanks for U get it ! 👍
Loved my 2010 Honda Element EX. Sold it at 225,000 miles.
Never had any trouble with it.
Surprisingly spacious and the sound system with the subwoofer in front was awesome.
Why did you sell your Element? About to require an expensive repair?
@@thomaskim5008 no repair needed. I was only looking for something new. Years later and still there's so much about that car that I've never found in the 5-6 cars I've had since that Element.
@@LateNightViddys Most used cars are on sale because they are about to break
who told you this? ive bought and sold many used cars not about to break lmao. you sound like a shitty seller.
All of the seats fold completely flat and they make a queen sized bed. from the dashboard to the tailgate. Great for camping and long road trips without motel bills.
The best in snow was the ex on demand awd. Had a 06 5spd manual and an 08. The 06 seats folded fwd, you could sleep on the floor or have an elevated sleep platform. The 08 a/t seats didn't fold fwd. Good car but noisy on the fwy!
I almost went with in 2010 specifically for the flat folding seat. Ended up sacrificing that with my Versa hatchback, but the back seats in the versa are much more comfortable. 15 yes 150k miles, versa also doing great. I've had people ask a few times about buying it.
@@pujabelgianwhat is an Ex, please?
I own a 2007 SC and I love it! 250,000km and it’s amazing! We got rid of our Touareg for the Element and couldn’t be happier. 🖤
2007 Honda fit here. Bought it new. 263,000 miles hard miles and running strong. Doesn't look very pretty anymore. My fault. Interior incredibly spacious...an optical illusion! "Fit" a clothes dryer in it (with closed hatch). "Fit" a medium ATV in it (with closed hatch). When get help loading stuff at Costco the guys cannot believe what "fits"! Best car we've ever owned.
Not surprised that all 3 are Honda.
The Element has a cult following for people who like to camp inside their vehicles. It is also a known issue for bad people to steal the catalytic converter from them. So much so, a 3rd party company makes an aftermarket part to help prevent the theft.
I've not heard much about the Crosstour, tbh. Can't say much about it.
ngl, the Fit was my dream car a few years back. Managed to get one as my 2nd car. Loved it. Forget the year I had, but did end up trading that one in for a 2018 Fit, which I still drive and love. I can squeeze into small parking spots and when the low gas light comes on, it costs me maybe $25 to fill it. Never had any issues with the smoothness of my drives with it, but my daily commute also doesn't deal with too many patched roads or potholes. I was excited about the Fit back in 2020, when Honda was showing off a couple new models at a car show, I believe in Japan. Showed some hybrid models and different tier specs for them. Soon after showing those off, they discontinued the Fit in the US. Such a sad day.
My 05 Element has 340,000 miles on it with no issues since I bought it in 2018. A guy in FL has a few of them with over 500k miles. K24 engine is primo
That Honda Element will outlast any Hondas you buy TODAY! People are buying old Hondas without the Turbos and CVTs.
Honda's CVTs are actually really good nowadays.
That said, their 5 and 6 speed autos were unbeatable. Stupid reliable like Toyota but way more fun to drive
No they won't. When they were new and in their prime yeah but nowadays they're anywhere from 21-13 years old. Age is undefeated and will eventually take its toll.
They want 10k for Elements
@@jimmytimmy3680i paid 17000 out the door in 2021 when car prices where outta control
It probably has an interference engine with a timing belt instead of a chain.
I have a 2007 Honda Element EX, they're a great car, reliable as an anvil.
If you live in the rust belt or anywhere they use salt in winter do not buy an Element. Honda had/has a huge safety recall on them. The unibody rusts out where the rear trailing arms connect. Some get a “bolt on” support bracket if caught early enough. Others are bought back for pennies by Honda and scrapped.
Also maybe it depends on where you live but i haven’t seen a good condition Element for less than $6k cdn for years
I had an 03 and currently own an 04 bought new. No transmission issues over 240.000 K miles and AWD. Back seats fold to the side so you can put even more stuff. Have replaced VTEC Solenoid once $83 bucks.
which car?
@@aperson1181 Sorry Honda Element
The short wheel base makes for a very choppy ride. It's like riding in a kids rocking horse. BUT... I still love them. They have a very tight turning radius. FUN to drive.
Crosstour was our favorite car ever owned. We carried a 6 foot dining table with a bench.
Be careful with any 20 year old car, if it spent life on salted road. I was in the market for a used car a few years ago, and I looked at the Element. It had a recall in Canada that it didn't have in the US. They figured cars drive on salted roads more in Canada than the US, so they pretty much ignored the northern states.
Here: Honda is recalling all 2003-2011 Element SUVs, warning of rusting rear frames that could result in the complete separation of the rear trailing arm.
I couldn't say about other models. You are lucky to get ten years out of a vehicle without some significant rust, up here.
I did a search on Carvana and a 2010 Element was $20,000. Crazy
Try driving around and checking out real vehicles. Wayyy better deals lol
@@peppernickelly why are you laughing out loud, what's so funny?
@@nightskylights4501 cuz the math
Even driving around and looking through craig's list, used car dealers and private sellers....they are NOT cheap.
Got an 06 CRV SE in black a couple years ago. Had 182,000 miles with one owner. The thing is an absolute time capsule that came with every amenity you could still want and nothing you don’t. Nice ten spoke aluminum wheels, fitted floor mats for the front, passengers and hatch, heated leather seats, roof rack, hood splitter, heated mirrors, sun roof, hard case for the second spare tire mounted on the hatch and a six disc cd changer that’s awesomely dated but works flawlessly with a Bluetooth adapter. I love my Honda.
Hyundai Santa Fe 2006-2010 with manual transmission, hugely undervalued car. Ive had mine 6 years now and no serious problems.
Same here we have passed it down through the family still going
@@maciejp7829
Cars and wine have vintage years. Some are so good even the clones have value. Like a 69 GTO Judge.
I have a 2008 Honda Element with 240,000 miles. We recently had to repair the R&P, shocks and struts and the water pump but those were the first major repairs I've had to do since we bought it new. It's a workhorse.
Used my 2005 Element for 6000 mile car camping trip . 5 spd got 26 mpg. Had some really rough roads.
Not an ounce of trouble. Love this car but ready for automatic..clutch leg. 73 years old
All three of these are brilliant cars! I had a 2011 Fit and it was a fantastic vehicle! Faultless and fun to drive.
Got a 2013 Honda Crosstour. I’m 6’5, and have lots of room driving. Lowered the back seats and moved my daughter in at college all 4 years with ease.
I thought about getting an Element recently, so I joined some Facebook groups for Element owners and started looking around for affordable models. I regularly see these going for $12,000-$17,000. If you want a "cheap" one, it has 300,000 miles and is in rough shape.
Love my 2004 Honda.
best reliable & most affordable car ever 🚗 $1000 and has only 130,000 miles,
don’t laugh it’s paid for. I
Maintain it regularly and meticulously.
I fully expect to have this for 10 more years
Here in Los Angeles the element is targeted by catalytic converter stealers!
Same as the CR-V's

We have a 2003 Element with 250,000 miles on it, and it is running like a dream. We bought it in 2016 for $3,000. Living in a beach town, we get offers about once a month for it.
A low rust Element in good shape with 150,000 miles or less is a $8,000 vehicle right now, and I think there is higher demand for the Honda Fit. Even with high mileage those things are listing above $5,000. Also, delivery people would pick these cars up quickly if they were really cheap.
Love my 2014 Honda Fit - 240,000 km and virtually no problems. Extremely reliable. Hard to find in Ontario though!
The VIN will tell you where the color was manufactured. The first letter or # is country . (J= Japan, 1= US, 2= Canada, 5 = US newer …. Ie south). This is consistent for US sold vehicles.
I have a 2003 Honda Element EX FWD automatic with 267,000 miles that my Dad bought in 2003. It is a great vehicle! I also have a 2010 Honda Fit base with 158,000 miles and an automatic transmission. I really enjoy both of these cars, and both have lots of room for their exterior size! The Fit is also a great car for when gas is expensive. The only problem I had with the Fit was the Milano red paint is terrible, and the clear coat came off the roof. I got it professionally painted the newer Radiant Red Metallic II paint found on newer Odysseys, Pilots, Ridgelines and Passports. It is really nice paint in the sun.
I have a 2009 Element with 165K miles and always kept it up. Bought it with 4k miles on it from the dealer. It runs great. Love it!
I have a 2006 Honda element 250,000 miles cold a/c runs great no rust. I just sold 2011 Honda fit 285,000 still great car. I have a 2008 Honda fit 252,000 a/c no rust 5 sp
I remember Honda agreeing to build their factory out there. Then they bought up a test track that was a little further out. My dad was a builder and was building in Sidney Ohio.
Honda used to make a really dependable vehicles
my current vehicle is an '04 Element 256k, runs perfect. My last vehicle was an '04 Element 261k. paid $6600 total for both used. Can't believe they stopped making them.
I had a 2006 Honda Element. Loved that car. Ended up with 267K on engine / transmission. Was still running great when I rolled it off I17 north of Phoenix at Bloody Basin doing 75 mph. Sad day!
As most of us know the Pontiac Vibe is just a Toyota Matrix with the Pontiac emblem on it. But enough people don't know that so you can get one at least somewhat cheaper than a Matrix.
Shhhhhhh!
Agree, @@cguest3397. I'm on my 2nd Vibe. Bought current with 150k mi for $4500.
Drove an element. Felt like driving a postal truck.
I had a 2008 Element EX…LOVED IT! At 280K miles I gave it to my mom because it was solid…reliable..and super easy for her to step in and out of. She LOVED IT! After she passed my Brother took it and still has it…I think it’s like 315K miles on it now…only thing that needed to be repaired was the suspension. I loved that Element. My Labrador Retrievers loved it…it was easy to haul lots of mulch and gardening stuff and had TONS of head and legroom (I’m tall and so is my brother). One of my favorite cars I’ve ever owned.
I had a 2006 Honda Element for 11 years, best car ever, 0 issues. The Catalytic Converter was eventually stolen so I had to get rid of it. Saddest day of my life. I miss it every day.

Bought a brand new Element in 04. AWD, 5 spd, drove it 386k until an accident. Now in an 03. When all is maintained (oil changes etc) I can get 31 mpg on flat highway. Great car!
I bought a 2003 Element off lease in 2005 and it was possibly the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. Being single I tossed the rear seats and had plenty of space for my big Labrador Retriever and cargo. In over 250,000 miles the only major repairs/replacements were brakes, tires, exhaust and, strangely, the ignition switch. I'd buy another in a heartbeat, if I could find one.
More than one gigging musician knows about the magic of this vehicle. The suicide doors provide plenty of clearance to comfortably load cabinets and amps galore.
I bought mine for $10k, put $2k into some maintenance, 120k miles, manual trans. I am very happy with my toaster. Its a GREAT one person RV. I can sleep in it, it has a removable sunroof in the back, tail gate, and 4wd or all wheel drive. I can tow a small trailer. I can go off road in Colorado... and I have.
My 2003 Element's ignition froze up with the key stuck in it. There was a recall on it but that had expired by the time I bought in 2020. It also would cut out on me and coast at about 65 mph but eventually would kick back in. I'd avoid the 2003 and '04. They did work the bugs out and it was considered very reliable in its last years.
I’ve always adjusted the valves on my Hondas stone cold…. Perfect.
The Honda Element was a great vehicle. Try to find one with an ounce of life left in it for sale though. Its cargo area can hold a MTB standing up. The drivetrain, suspension, and interiors are the available used ones out there are all used up.
Had a brand new 06 element… just bought an 08 … love the element!
Honda Element w/5spd and AWD was the pinnacle of automotive engineering
Had a 2004 before trading in 2010. Camped many nites and bought the accessory curtain to shield the windows. Left the rear driver side seat out for more storage. Only trade because I needed more space .
I loved my element when I had it, And it was a freaking Tank! Saved my life I'm pretty sure. At first I didn't like the boxy look but it is such a nice vehicle.
Honda Element - The AWD my friend had got stuck in the snow, only the right wheels were powered, no LSD. Another friend has the 2wd version, around 200K miles and lots of problems, now its the electrical - the whole dash went out.
That hood strut is between 12 and 18 bucks. Change it in 2 to 5 minutes.
The all wheel drive version was a top seller for people that live in the mountains , especially in Tennessee
I had one and selling it broke my heart. It was a great vehicle.
Why did you sell it?
Saw one for sale by someone who wasn’t ready. Prolly his wife told him to sell it. Said the buyer must agree to the maintenance schedule, must have driven stick for at least 5 years, agree not to tune/modify and use OEM parts.
If you find an element for cheap, look under it. they rust bad if you live in prone areas. also lots of suspension issues pop up around 200k. If you find an EX near either cost with under 150k on it expect to pay $$$ - 2005 EX owner since 2008 w/240k on the clock
I doubt there is any cars that make it to 200k miles without suspension problems
Cars are not made in Mexico for cost cutting. It’s made for profit enlargement. Prices don’t go down.
Merchandise is priced by competition & buyer willingness, not by cost plus. It is a price target - cost. This is true of bread and private jets...and anything between.
If it was cost plus we'd all be still driving Model Ts
Why else would anyone cost cut. Not sure what point you are trying to make. People cost cut to make a larger profit.
Literally the same thing
Still comes to cost cutting for the manufacturers just like Ford thought it was cheaper to pay lawsuits instead of spending less $100 per car to change the position of the gas tank on the Pinto.😮
@@charlesphilhower1452 that memo sunk them. All RWD hatches at the time had the same problem. Gas tanks left over from trunk models of the 60s driven hard into the diff. Many had a rear facing gasoline fill that would break as well.
Even my MGB had a rear gas cap above the bumper with an exposed fill hose in the trunk.

A decade ago I went to Hawaii and saw tons of Honda Elements. It was a great car if you are a surfer or have tons of thing to carry around. Also lots of room and head room. I always wanted to get one but they are hard to find.
My 2007 Honda Element is the only vehicle I wish I still owned. I had to give it up (trade-in) for a Honda Odyssey when my wife found out she was pregnant with our third son. The Element is only a four-seater, so that wouldn't work for us. It had the best sound system of any vehicle I've ever owned, it was comfortable, spacious, and great for camping.
2006 Honda fit/ jazz, best car i have ever owned, but wish i'd bought the manual instead of the cvt. Transmission has to be babied to last. Has a common rumble vibration on take-off which is annoying. Other than that, a great car
Honda Elements are awesome. 2005 EX had AwD. THROTTLE CABLE IS A BIG FIX.
I live in the Puget Sound region near Seattle. Prices for the Crosstour and Element here are ridiculous. You could buy a used Genesis/Equus of the same model year and mileage for less money. (And before anyone starts to rake me over the coals, I'm aware of the difference in maintenance costs. Just sayin'.....)
Never had a use for an element; but always thought that they were cool.
That’s probably why I love k-cars/vans/etc…
I have a 2008, you don't need to take the seats out. They hang and fold very convenient. Great for camping, lots of room. Engine is great, I am at 141K. It also, has rubber mats that come out easy to clean, LOVE my Element

Scotty,
I have a 2012 Fit and you are spot on as to its value. Owned it since new. 105K miles. However, its only flaw is gas mileage. Due to its high rev'ing engine I average 23/24 in the city and 30 on the highway. It has never gotten 40 mpg. The newer Fits rev lower and have a green mode but not this model.
Also be aware
Bill
yeah, in the usa 3rd gen fits are CVT (and made in mexico?), unlike 1st and 2nd gen automatics, which don't get as good mpg as you might expect out of a small car. manuals are more efficient but i don't know how to drive one....
Not sure if it's true for modern vehicles, but when I worked in the insurance industry 8 years ago, one of the digits in the VIN indicated the country in which the vehicle was manufactured. If I remember correctly, it was the 3rd digit of the VIN.
It's the first digit. 1 = USA, 2 = Canada, J = Japan, etc.
My 2008 Element has 240,000 miles, and its still my day to day work car when I dont ride a motorcycle. But It just need struts and some minor fluff, and buff...and I fit my cb750/4 Honda in the back when I remove the seats.
My 2005 still runs great with 235,000 miles, but had problems. I spent thousands replacing the front suspension, radiator, condenser, starter(2x), window regulator (2x), VVT, wheel bearings, etc. Transmission seal.
@@terryjames548 And??? Was it worth it?
@@A-privilege-not.a-right Good question. For me it was. Prices on newer cars were too high for years. They seem cheaper now.
I had a 2004 and it was a great working car, never let me down.
If the VIN starts with J, it was built in Japan. I believe W is Germany. It's not really a comment, just a thing I know, or at least I know it used to be true. My old F-350 had a Windsor V8 and a 3 speed manual. It was a bullet proof engine. I think it could pull a single wide mobile home, so much torque or if a gasoline engine with a super strong transmission. It was about as fuel efficient as an Abrams tank with a top speed of about 60 mpg, but man it ran great. I stupidly sold it to buy a new Dodge RAM 2500 Diesel. The RAM was good, but it just did the same thing my F-350 did every day, only it came with a payment. I was not real smart in the late 80's.
I had a Honda Element that was my favorite car ever. Almost no issues in all the years I had it. Unfortunately it was totaled in a wreck.
The best solution for a car longevity and gas mileage is the manual transmission. Hybrid cost a lot and last less than manual transmission.
I knew someone that transported her two alpacas in her Honda Element! 🤣🐈⬛🐈💖🌈
I bought a 2013 nissan leaf for $1780 out the door. I've driven it 1000 miles and I've paid zero dollars to recharge it.
The AWD Element is heavy. It doesn't matter what the "ratings" are when you get a car that heavy the mileage will be "not great". Nothing you can do.
You CAN get a 2003 Element for $4000 -- with $304K miles on it. But the price goes up steeply from there.
Honda civic 2002 - 256k miles got $1200.00 ; Honday Odyssey 2006 246k miles still runs.
Scotty I got an 07 Element with 55k miles on her. Just had to do the starter. If you want a thrilling ride just find a curve
Buick stopped making LaSabre. That's when I started crying.
The one I drove lasted over 500,000 miles.
Half way through the transmission had to be replaced.
Other than minor things and regular maintenance, she ran beautifully.
The Elements have a huge problem with the windshields, and blow around in the wind.
If you just care about function there are lots of cheap cars. I got a 05 Ford focus wagon I paid 2500 for in 2015. Only thing ive done to is besides oil and a battery is changed the motor mount. Thats it. Gets me to work like everything else.
I miss my Elements. I had two. Ugh. Perfect damned SUV for hiking and travelling. Wash it out with a hose. All the room you'd ever need.
On my second CRV ... not the same.
The Honda Element is the Volkswagen Bus of the 21st century.
My 05 civic manual has 440,000 on it. Original clutch and rear brakes. Buy a good honda❤
THAT'S A DAMN GOOD SUV!! I wish they could come up redesign exterior but, keep the same muscle engine
These are great utilitarian cars! Loved them..especially the doors!
Honda Elements are actully really expensive on the west coast.. it's a cult car for sure.. Buy an AWD sienna instead and lift it!
