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

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.

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.

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
