2003 Honda Element EX. 237K miles. Mostly highway miles. Galápagos Green Metallic. Garage kept.

Manual Transmission, 5spd. All wheel drive AWD with side airbags, running boards, alloy wheels, cruise control, premium sound with aux input, Rear Manual Moon Roof 3 power outlets (one additional added by owner in center console).

New A/C compressor, battery, alternator, belt, filters, throttle body, EVAP purge valve, gas cap, OEM oil pan (had some rust spots) and oil pan gasket. No leaks. Always used factory oil and filters changed slightly before the recommended intervals.

Shocks, radiator, intake manifold gasket and radiator replaced at around 150K. Descent Yokohama tires. Many receipts available. Factory parts used most of the time.

Did I say 5 speed Manual Transmission and AWD...Yes!!!

I really love this little truck. I hate to sell it but I built a DIY camper and do not have any room. I know that I will regret selling this vehicle. I have been all over the country in this Element. One of the best vehicles I have ever owned. It is a good little truck but not perfect; it has some small dings scratches and normal driver seat wear (which is a very common blemish) but nothing major. Asking $3,500 OBO. I will consider any reasonable offer.

This is a great ride. I really do not want to part with it. I currently own two Hondas with 200K+ miles. All about the maint. Also garage kept!

I wanted one of these for the longest time, in the 5spd AWD setup...of course at that time they were new and I was a young broke college kid lol. Such a cool vehicle.

Year, color, miles please! I agree that this is the ultimate MTB vehicle. The stick/AWD is nice in bad weather. + pretty good gas mileage.
2008, maroon, about 125k miles. Funny, @265crosser has two of them, it looked like a convention when I stopped in. When I sold my trials bike the buyer had an Element and we joked about it. Elements rock!

Don't piss off the red guy
My wife wanted to get one a couple of years ago but since they haven't made them in a while we looked at a few used ones but there weren't any decent ones available at the time. I took one out for a test drive for a used car dealer. It was a bad sign when the only key they had of the car.. I mean truck.. was the valet key. Then I took it for a test drive and it didn't drive well. I'm a veteran of Hondas with my last one having 285,000 miles on the OD before I sold it. So we ended up getting something else for her but I've always liked them. Rumor has it that Honda is bring the Element back. If they do I hope they don't put a CVT in it.

The toaster is SOLD to a super nice guy/neighbor around the corner. 😀/😞 No craigslist; Yes! Good old fashion driveway sign.
Cool. That’s how I found my middle son his first car last April. 5 blocks away guy had his recently deceased moms car out on the street with a for sale sign. Said he had it online for 3 weeks with no offers and he had just put the for sale sign on it a few hours before I saw it and rang his doorbell. Turned out to be the nicest people and now when I ride by on the bike we always wave at each other.

Neighbors helping neighbors. The way life should be! This craigslist stuff is usually a hassle.
