I am selling my 03 honda element EX all wheel drive because I just got a new car. I am the second owner and the car has a clean title current tags in my name. I have done a ton of recent maintenance including:

New Ft lower ball joints.
New Front inner control arm bushings.
New Front motor mount.
New Transmission side motor mount.
New Tie rod ends.
New OEM NGK iridium spark plugs.
New CD player with hands free bluetooth and AUX in.
New set of struts front and rear, not installed yet. (see pic)
All maintenance done including rear differential fluid.

Car has 193k miles and will easily go another 200k no problem. Everything works, ac is cold no leaks, runs and drives great.  My daily driver.  

Cons:
Hood needs to be repainted. The sheet metal is all original honda with original VIN stickers. But the hood and tops of the front fenders need to be painted if you want the car to be perfect. The rest of the paint is fine with the exception of a few dings. Previous owner told me the hood had been repainted.  But it is the original hood so the damage must have been negligible.  

Front seats are cracking as they do in every Element.

Rear tires are new but front tires need to be replaced, they are pretty bald.

Windshield is original and has a crack that does not obstruct view.

Front struts should be replaced as they make a little noise, New front and rear struts are included in auction. 

Or just leave it and drive it as is, The AWD system works flawless and I average about 24 mpg city and 26 mpg Hwy. So not bad for such a large vehicle. Clean title is in hand in my name and registration is current and good for another few months..2 sets of keys with remotes..I am in whittier during the week mon-fri 10-7 and in venice nights and weekends if you want to take a test drive....Getting offers outside of ebay, so auction may end without notice... Thanks  Ryan...email a phone number and Ill call you back.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Drumming up a little excitement for the 2013 FIA World Touring Car Championship, Honda brought its new Civic WTCC car to the bright lights of Geneva for all to see. Honda joined WTCC late last year entering the final three races. The racing outfit will run this year's entire 12-round season, which kicks off later this month in Italy.
In the off-season, Honda made a few updates to its WTCC entry including better aerodynamics, improved suspension and braking and numerous engine and turbo enhancements. Two teams will field the new Civic racecar in this year's season: Honda Racing Team JAS and a private team from Hungary, Zeng"o Motorsport.
Fans of the WTCC in the US will be pleased to know that series makes a return visit to Sonoma Raceway on September 8 for the Race of the United States.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV ready for production, Nissan tests Leaf-to-Home energy management

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Toyota will begin selling its hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV) in Japan in December. The US and Europe can expect to see the car become available next summer. The FCV, which will likely be called "Mirai" (meaning "future") in Japan, is ready for production ahead of its initial deadline at the end of the fiscal year in March. Toyota planned for annual production of 700 units, but might increase output to meet higher-than-expected demand, which is currently nearing 1,000 units. The cars will mostly be sold in the four cities where a hydrogen fueling infrastructure is already being put in place: Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka. Read more at Nikkei Asian Review. Nissan is testing the Leaf EV as part of an energy management system including "Leaf to Home" technology. The system allows the Leaf to help support the power grid during peak energy usage, or provide backup power to a home or building during outages, particularly in emergencies like natural disasters. Using the Leaf's battery to provide electricity during peak hours would lessen the demand on the grid and make the system work more efficiently. Furthermore, if consumers are compensated for the energy saved by using the Leaf for power during periods of high demand, it could encourage more people to adopt the EV.

CDP keeps track of how much companies are disclosing about their impact on global climate change. "The need for data on corporate climate change impacts and strategies to reduce them has never been greater," says CDP CEO Paul Simpson. "For this reason we congratulate those businesses that have achieved a position on CDP's Climate Disclosure Leadership Index." Other perfect scores were earned by Nissan, BMW, Daimler and General Motors. Read more in the press release from Honda below. Scientists at Stanford University have developed a lithium ion battery that can warn users before it overheats. A thin layer of copper between the anode and the layer separating the anode from the cathode acts as a sensor. When it detects lithium buildups from overcharging are approaching the separator, it sends an early alert long before it gets to a point where it would cause a short (which could lead to a fire). The new safety measure could be used in all sorts of battery applications, and not be limited to EVs. Learn more at Phys.org.
