2004 Honda Element Ex In Excellent Condition…… 55,030 Original Miles! on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
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! |

Honda, Hyundai and Kia get best word-of-mouth recommendations in US
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Forget advertising, incentives and, yes, even our excellently crafted vehicle reviews, sometimes the best way for automakers to sell cars is still good ol' fashioned word of mouth. In an attempt to measure this "word of mouth" power, The Boston Consulting Group, a management consulting firm, has created a new study called the Brand Advocacy Index (BAI). The index takes a look at how various industries perform from person to person. Those industries include automotive, smartphones, grocery, mobile telecommunications and banking.
The study polled more than 32,000 individuals across Europe and in the US to come up with the top 55 brands in these various industries. On the automotive side of things, the top brands in the US were Honda, Hyundai and Kia, all tied at 63 percent. On a global scale, Volkswagen and Toyota scored the highest with a 65-percent BAI rating (both in France). The average BAI for auto industry players tallied 50 percent.
As for companies in other industries, Apple's iPhone was the index's top-rated smartphone, Trader Joe's was the highest recommended grocery store, Virgin was sat atop the mobile telecom industry and USAA was the top retail bank. Scroll down for the full press release on the new study.
Honda Ridgeline to take two-year dirt nap before resurrection
Sun, 14 Jul 2013Three years ago, Honda said there would be no new-generation Honda Ridgeline coming in 2011. In late 2011, when there was still no word on a replacement for the little truck that's been carrying on pretty much the same since 2006, within the space of a month both Honda's US truck planner and the CEO of American Honda said the Ridgeline would continue and that it was an integral part of the lineup.
But that doesn't mean it can't take a two-year timeout. A report in Ward's Auto says that the Lincoln, AL plant that builds the Ridgeline will cease its production in September, 2014 and a new one won't arrive until 2016. That's a walk-back from when the plan was to have the current truck run until a week before the next-generation truck went into production. Even so, Honda still says the Ridgeline isn't going away forever, a company spokesman telling Ward's, "Ridgeline continues to be an important part of our lineup."
2016 is a long way away, though, and we all know how quickly a product line put into a coma can end up suffering fatal consequences. Even though we keep talking about the Ridgeline, perhaps what Honda is actually saying is that the small pickup market is important to them, and they're working on a way to take better advantage of it than the Ridgeline was doing. We'll find out one way or the other in three years.
Aston Martin Red Bull Racing to switch to Honda engines starting in 2019
Tue, Jun 19 2018After a 12-season partnership with Renault, the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team is switching engine suppliers. Starting next season, the team will use Honda powertrains, following the move this year of Red Bull's junior team, Toro Rosso. This effectively makes Red Bull Racing the Honda works team, something it's never truly benefited from since joining the sport in 2005 after purchasing the former Jaguar Racing team. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Honda has had a rough time since returning to F1 with McLaren back in 2015. Both sides hoped that the move would rekindle one of the most successful pairings in F1 history. Unfortunately, Honda powertrains were both underpowered and unreliable. The partnership proved to be so toxic that McLaren ended the deal early, moving to Renault power starting this season. On the other hand, Toro Rosso is off to a fine start this year with Honda, surely helping cement Red Bull's decision to drop Renault. Since moving to Renault power in 2007, Red Bull Racing has won 57 races, four drivers' championships and four constructors championships, making it one of the most successful teams in F1 history. The move should be a huge boon for Honda. Red Bull Racing is currently one of the top teams, fighting for both podiums and wins, so the move shows how much faith Red Bull has in the Japanese automaker. When McLaren picked up Honda power, it was a mid-pack team that had just two podiums in the previous two seasons. The Honda partnership is likely to play into Daniel Ricciardo's next move. His current contract with Red Bull racing ends at the end of 2018. He's one of the best and most talented drivers racing today and unlikely to stay with a team that might prevent him from winning races and fighting for championships.
