2003 Honda Element Ex Awd 4wd Sport Utility 4-door 2.4l on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:193000
Location:

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.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

Honda Urban SUV concept previews Fit-based crossover

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

We've been hearing a lot of rumblings this year about a new crossover based on the Honda Fit, and now we finally get to see what this B-segment CUV might look like. Called the Urban SUV Concept, Honda's new small crossover has made its debut at the Detroit Auto Show, but we'll have to wait until 2014 to see the production version on sale in the US. Honda says the production version of this concept, whatever it will be called, will slot below the CR-V in terms of size and price.
In terms of this concept's styling, there is plenty of the new Honda Accord in its face, and it looks like a more rugged version of the Nissan Juke, as well as a more practical alternative to the Hyundai Veloster. With its short overhangs, the concept measures 169.3 inches in length, making it about eight inches longer than a Fit hatchback and nine inches shorter than the CR-V. Honda confirmed that its new crossover will debut a telematics system for Honda, and it will use one of Honda's new Earth Dreams engines; we previously reported that this engine would be a 1.5-liter I4 paired with a continuously variable transmission.
The next-generation Fit is expected to debut before this new crossover model, and both models will be built at Honda's Celaya, Mexico assembly plant, which is scheduled to open early next year. A new sedan is also expected to round out the lineup of Fit-based products. For more information about this new Urban SUV Concept, scroll down for Honda's official press release.

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
