Car Forum / Honda Cars / April 2006Any Element owners out there? Need advice on owning one
never have owned an Element Thinking of buying a USED one. Do you LIKE your Element? if yes...why? And...can I get a decent used Element for say 7-8k? Also..what kind of gas mileage you get? > never have owned an Element > > Thinking of buying a USED one. im just curious what about it appeals to you, as opposed to a regular CR-V, a scion xB, etc... dunno if theyre down in the $7/$8k range yet, without being thrashed/recovered stolen/high-mileage/salvaged. >> never have owned an Element >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >dunno if theyre down in the $7/$8k range yet, without being >thrashed/recovered stolen/high-mileage/salvaged. looking for vehicle I can camp out of...sleep in back of. That also gets god gas mileage and has good reliability Hence..... the Element maybe? The Scion would work.... but its REALLY boxy for my tastes. <g> >>> never have owned an Element >>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > looking for vehicle I can camp out of...sleep in back if you were in the market for new, id check out a new honda "fit". its MADE to sleep in. why? i dunno. > of.

Yeah I like that choice as well I just thought I might find a used Element at better price than new Fit Yes? No? > never have owned an Element > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Also..what kind of gas mileage you get? ------------------------------------------------- I you're talking about American Dollars, there may be a few available in the Gulf Coast area. You should have a (short) talk with your banker. He has books that will tell you what used ones are worth. 'Curly' > And...can I get a decent used Element for say 7-8k? you may want to pay a visit to edmunds.com and do a little research on used vehicle prices... My best friend and sister both have Elements and love them. I like them too. Cheap, economical, versitile, relatively large cargo capacity, good mileage (for that size profile), can wash it out with a hose (though I don't know anyone who has). Note that it's Economy driven though. Not very much sound deadening, etc. It's by no means a plush ride. Oh, I think my friend and sister both get about 22 MPG in town and about 26 on the highway. They both have the 4WD elements. |
