For Longtime Element owners—
What are your recommendations to keep this baby going forever(ish)?
I bought my 2007 green Honda element new and I love and never want to give it up.
I hit 170k and a few things started going haywire. I got the immediate ones fixed and asked for a general assessment of what else needs fixing.
In the photo, everything listed individually was fixed. The circled things were the recommendations that still need fixing.
Of course a bunch of people are like “why would you spend 5k on a car that’s worth 2k if you sold it?” but it’s not about what it’s worth for sale.
This car is the perfect car for me and there really is no other like it on the market. I move large stuff around all the time & make quite a big mess in my car for my job, not to mention I tend to be very clumsy and I don’t know any car where I can bump into a pole and not even leave a mark on it 🤣 this thing is a TANK.
Not to mention I feel cars now aren’t made as well, and are WAY too expensive.
My car is fully paid off and cheap to insure.
So to fellow Element lovers—-I’m looking for reassurance that spending another 2-3k on maintaining/refreshing my car is worth it and would love opinions from long term element owners or owners who have refurbished used ones. 🙏
