One-owner, garage-kept, recently detailed, 2005 Honda Element EX AWD in Magnesium Metallic with 134,800 miles. Dealer maintained car with service records available. Great over all condition. Clean Illinois title.

Drivetrain - Runs good, drives great. No smoke on start-up, or any unusual ticks or rattles. Transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly. The 2.4L K24A4 engine has a timing chain, so there's no timing belt(s) to replace. The serpentine belt looks a little worn, but it does not squeak. Should be good for a year or two. Engine bay is very clean. No fluid leaks. Engine oil change service is due in about 3,000 miles. I'd also recommend a transmission fluid flush as a preventative measure, but the car runs great.

Suspension/Brakes - Rides well. Shocks/dampers/springs in good condition (no leaks). Newer tires with 75% tread and even wear. Recently aligned, tracks straight and true. Good brakes with plenty of pad life left. Rotors are a little warped, but not noticeable under normal conditions.

Interior - Very clean. Nothing is cracked, sticky, or broken. Non-smoker. No foul smells or odors. No cracks on the dashboard, and all plastics are clean and glossy. Upholstery has recently been shampooed and shows no stains or marks. The vinyl seat material is cracked on the lower left seat bottom, but it hasn't torn through. There are a few nicks and scratches on some panels, but everything is otherwise in excellent condition. Floor liner is clean with no rips or tears. The fold-out/removeable seats work like a charm. Like all Honda Elements, the car has a pop-up moonroof in the back. Awesome car for camping.

Electronics - Everything works (as it should). Newer battery. Keyless entry/alarm has good range. 270 watt CD/MP3 disc player with powered sub-woofer and Aux/iPod input sounds great, with no blown speakers. All interior and exterior lights work. No check-engine lights or diagnostic trouble codes. Air conditioning blows cold and strong. Hot, hot heat.

Body/Paint/Glass - Excellent condition. Paint has recently been professionally clayed, sealed, glazed and waxed and shows deep gloss and shine. Like looking into a mirror. Plastic panels are deep black and show no fading. All glass is original with privacy tint in the back. Windshield does have a few nicks and a small crack in the lower driver's side corner, but it's been that way for about two years now. It hasn't grown since then. The crack is out of sight, but I thought I'd mention it. There's a few dings on the doors, but you'd be hard pressed to find and/or notice them. Wheels are in great condition, no brake dust stains or curb rash. We had one center cap stolen from the car a year ago (these normally don't come off), but you can buy a set of four off Amazon for $20 shipped.

Miscellaneous - All OEM literature (even the sales brochure!) is present and accounted for. Window stickers, booklets, manuals, quick-reference guides, etc. (check out the photo gallery below). Carfax is clean and available (send me a message and I'll send it to you for FREE). Service history is available. Have wheel locks and the wheel lock key.

Asking $8,250 or best offer. Price is already below book value, but I'm open to other offers.

Test drives welcome! I invite you to view the car personally, or send an inspector. You won't be disappointed.

Cash, or certified/cashier's check only. Sold as-is. No warranties expressed or implied.

Contact me through the provided eBay e-mail. I usually respond within the hour. Showings by appointment only. I will be available throughout the week.

Thanks for looking!

2016: The year we talked about autonomy a bunch | Autoblog Podcast #497

Thu, Dec 22 2016

This week on the Autoblog Podcast, Mike Austin and David Gluckman take a look back at one of the biggest topics of 2016: autonomous driving. The thing is, there was a lot of news about autonomous driving, but not much in the way of autonomous cars you can buy. They also talk about what they've been driving lately - there was a good turbocharged compact car and a not-so-good turbocharged compact car. And then we round out the year with a quick Spend My Money. The podcast will take a break next week, but we'll be back in the new year with reports from CES and the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. And we're lining up some fun guests for future recordings. The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want buying advice of your very own, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com. (If you record audio of a question with your phone and get it to us, you could hear your very own voice on the podcast. Neat, right?) And please send trivia questions! You'll get the honor of stumping your fellow listeners, and we'll thank you too.

2015 Fit Kit is the perfect DIY car from Honda

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

Ah... let the April Fools' Day automotive jokes begin. Honda is kicking things off, following up on last year's Honda Hair joke with a prank video featuring the 2015 Honda Fit.
It's called the Fit Kit, and as you might guess, it's a way to build your own version of the redesigned hatchback. There are 180,000 mechanical parts in the kit - some delivered by drone - but that doesn't seem at all daunting to the pair of obnoxious, self-described tinkerers that star in the Fit Kit ad.
Honestly, the video is pretty entertaining, with some biting satire of the DIY movement and its attendant cadre of mustachioed hipsters. Scroll down and have a look at both the video and the Fit Kit press release from Honda.

Honda next to open museum to Google Street View

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Had your fill of tooling around the Lamborghini Museum on Google Street View? Maybe Italian supercars aren't your thing? Then we've got good news, because The House That Ferruccio Built isn't the only automotive museum in cyberspace: now the Honda Collection Hall has opened its doors to the crew from Mountain View, too.
The Honda Collection Hall, for those who haven't made it out to Japan's Tochigi Prefecture, is a grand three-story museum dedicated to all things Honda. It's located at the Twin Ring Motegi, and has been open since 1998. Inside visitors will find everything from robots and scooters to SUVs and racing cars. But if you can't make it there in person, you can check out all three levels of floorspace on Street View right from the comfort of your home. Check out the images above and the interactive map below.
