For your consideration, here's my 2004 Honda Element EX in excellent condition with very low original miles…… 55,030. Straight, incredibly reliable and regularly maintained by Milex Auto Service Center in Tucson (all service records are included in the sale). I purchased my Element in March 2012 after a long search for one with a manual transmission….. they're hard to find. When I located this gem, it had 48,587 original miles and an AutoCheck score of 95…. one owner, no accidents, no issues, confirmed odometer check. What a find!….. it's been one of the best autos I've ever owned. The 5 speed manual is peppy versus the sluggish automatic version and makes you feel like you're driving the Element rather than it driving you. The engine is strong, the body is straight, interior is clean (no rips in seats like many you see), smooth tranny, 4 Goodyear Integrity tires, 16" alloy wheels, excellent EX version AM/FM/CD audio system……. factory color is Satin Silver Metallic. Because the Element has spent its life in Texas and now Arizona, there's no rust. It comes with the original 2004 Owner's Manual, original shift knob (a replacement is currently installed), two keys and one remote, factory mud guards (front & rear) and factory pin striping. I love this versatile SUV, and the only reason I'm selling it is I've recently restored a 1968 Ford Bronco, thus we now have 3 cars…… my wife has a 2007 Honda Element EX with automatic transmission (she prefers auto to manual, otherwise I'd keep this Element). In the April 2014 Consumer Report (page 96), they gave the 2004 Honda Element their top used car Reliability Rating (along with the 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010 & 2011 Elements). That said, what we have here is a top-rated, regularly maintained, straight, rust-free Honda Element EX with only 55,030 original miles….. how often do these come around? Okay, now the tedious stuff…… payment must be made via an official bank check or bank wire….. please do not bid if the funds aren't immediately available. The Honda cannot be picked up until the funds have cleared. Insurance and shipping arrangements and fees are the responsibility of the buyer…… I will drive the Element to the trucker if the rig is nearby. The other option is you come to Tucson and drive it home…… the last two vehicles I sold on eBay (a 1965 Mercedes 220 SE and 1995 Jeep Wrangler) were picked up in that way. The Honda must be picked up within 14 days of winning bid unless prior arrangements are made. The Element is sold AS IS with no warranty of any kind. I reserve the right to advertise the Element locally and end the auction early if it sells. If you have questions, please ask them prior to bidding via eBay's mail system or by phone…….. 520-395-0565. If you are in the area and wish to see the Element, that can be arranged. Good luck and happy bidding!On Apr-28-14 at 18:25:44 PDT, seller added the following information: Today, I hand-waxed the Element. There are 5 new pics at the end of the photos of the Element waxed and lookin' spiffy.
