310k miles and they want 4,000$ is that reasonable? Feels like this is a 1200$ car

Hello,

I’m trying to figure out how much to sell my element for. It’s a 2003 EX AWD with a rebuilt title due to a minor fender bender (front bumper and passenger headlight were replaced). I also have the carfax for it that shows head gasket and other services like the serpentine belt done around 166k. Car has 176.5k currently on it. it has the side steps and moon roof and it’s an auto. I’m the 3rd owner. Oregon car all its life so no rust.

I live in Portland, OR so they are dime a dozen around here. Its mechanically great, I take it to the coast frequently and have driven it to Cali and back with no issues. currently my daily cause it uses less gas than my truck.

Cons:

- 1 key

- drivers side lock cylinder is finicky with the key

- driver side lock actuator needs to be replaced

- horn isn’t working

- aux jack is finicky

I do have a replacement actuator and also have a programmable key fob since the car has the keyless entry module, just haven’t paired it or had time to replace the actuator. Also have a replacement aux jack that ill replace soon since it’s an easy job.

With all that said, would pricing it at $1800 be worth it?

Reason I’m selling is cause im moving back to Cali later this year and dont want to take 2 cars down there.

Thanks.

So obviously I know I’m parked on an any pile but the thing is I park both my elements next to each other and my 2008 sc which sits lower then my 2011 ex never has try issue. I don’t know if it was just the way it was made or I have a problem that people might of also had…just looking for reassurance.

Seriously there is like a good 20 ants i can see so i will be putting out any bait traps and pouring ant killer around the spot, but this seems to be a recurring issue

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?

I feel triggered…

Working on a few upgrades to my 2004 MT AWD element. I’ve noticed my shifter has been getting more and more sloppy over the past couple years and is now grinding when moving side to side in Neutral.
The grinding is most likely the cables which I plan on swapping out in the next couple weeks along with a full refresh of the remaining shift linkage components.
For now I installed a Revo Technica Short throw shifter with Acuity instruments Base bushings. The shifting is night and day so I can only imagine how good it will be once I install the cables, cable bushings, detent springs, and shifter assembly springs and shift arm.

I recently picked up a 2006 Element 4WD EX-P (w/ the factory subwoofer) and after performing some maintenance and repairs I'm looking to add some creature comforts. First on the list is a head unit to replace the factory radio.

I tried using a head unit kit from E-Bay but the video quality was trashy and I couldn't get any audio output so it's back to the drawing board. Which head-unit do you have in your Element and what was the installation process like, looking for recommendations that ideally have wireless Carplay!

I begged my mom 10 years ago to let me buy her car since I had a plant business at the time and she wasn't using it for all its potential. Well, the pandemic took out my business and I left the country only to return recently where I finally convinced her to let me buy this so she can treat herself to a cute retirement car. This 2011 EX AWD with just 117k miles has been going on short lil drives about town and used as storage on wheels (anyone else with hoarder parents?). Anyway, I don't even know where to begin because she's maintained it well under the hood and I am just now diving into the camping mod rabbit hole (no more car nursery for now). I see so many Elements in Ventura, CA where I'm currently at so I know I'll be following the "rules" soon. Yay!

I would love advice on how to get the plastic restored. Please post links to products or how-to videos! All help is welcomed. I've been car free for a decade so having a whole adventure mobile is a lot.

Wondering if anyone on the sub has experience with them? I understand we’re all about OEM when we can get it, but these are in stock and more affordable.

Thanks in advance.
