2004 Honda Element Ex In Excellent Condition…… 55,030 Original Miles! on 2040-cars

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!

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."

Honda to spool up turbos, workforce with F1 tech

Fri, 22 Nov 2013

Honda has had a longer and more tumultuous relationship with Formula One than just about any other automaker. It had only been building cars for four years before it entered F1 in 1964 as the first Japanese team in the series, winning its first race the following season but shuttering the program a few years later. Honda came back to power the likes of Williams and McLaren to several World Championships in the '80s and '90s, but things took a downturn when it started a partnership and ultimately took over British American Racing. After pouring untold billions into the effort, the economy tanked, and Honda ultimately sold the team, which subsequently claimed the championship - under new ownership and Mercedes power. Now Honda is gearing up to return in 2015 with a new turbocharged V6 hybrid powertrain it's supplying initially to McLaren, which in turn is switching back to Honda from nearly two decades with Mercedes.
So why return to F1 now? That's precisely what Autoblog asked Honda's Global President and Chief Executive Takanobu Ito (pictured above with McLaren chief Martin Whitmarsh) while visiting his office in Tokyo. While he wouldn't reveal specifics (like when his company's new engine would be available to other teams, as it most certainly will in the long run), Ito-san was clearly happy to discuss the motivation behind the move and the value he feels it brings to the company and its products.
Ito pointed toward the proliferation of motors within Honda's powertrains as a development he hopes to take to road from track

Honda Civic Tourer images arrive early on web

Sun, 03 Mar 2013

Honda provided a teaser sketch of its Civic Tourer concept wagon about a month ago (right), but today, just a couple days before its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show, we've found these official pics of the car in question from WhatCar?
The Civic Tourer concept adds a little length and height to the current Civic hatchback sold in Europe, stretching the shape every which way to make a new wagon model that will compete with cars like the new Volkswagen Golf Variant, which is also making its debut in Geneva this week.
As we mentioned when Honda released the teaser sketch last month, the European Civic is different from the Civic sold here in the US, so the production version of this concept, which should debut in the fall, will never see the inside of a dealership in the States. Do you care, or does the smaller Fit fill that role well enough for Americans?
