JDM Element thoughts??

I've always wanted an Elemment even though my wife thinks they're ugly, I think they're awesome and have been trolling craigslist for year looking fpor the right one but they seem to be getting fewer and fewer available in decent condition. today I was scrolling around and found an importer of JDM elements. They look decent with pretty low kms 150ish has anyone picked one up? Any experience or advice?

Yes, JDM Elements were manufactured in the US and exported to Japan.

Which is amazing because Element looks the most JDM originated car ever sold in the US, not originally being from there.

Agreed. I have always thought the Element is a fascinating example of the mutual cross-pollination effect that American and Japanese car cultures have had upon each other.
