Used 2008 Honda Element for Sale near Chicago, IL

Reliable car with lots of space. It’s the epitome of a Southern California surf/beach car. Easy to clean and not a lot of pieces to hassle with or break.

Ive owned the Honda Pilot, Honda Civic and now the Honda Element. By far, this is the funnest car Ive ever owned. In 2024, finding one with low miles and mint condition was a unicorn. And Im sure Elements will become more and more scarce in the future, since they were last discontinued production in 2011. The interior space of this car is huge for its size, water resistant floor, and the seats fold and adjust in so many ways - its just too much to explain here. Look it up on YouTube. It runs like a beauty for a 4 cylinder and shifts buttery smooth. The exterior is, nothing like in the market right now. The Element is, hands down... the swiss knife of SUVs.

I love that its so easy to keep looking nice, and that it can haul anything. And that it is a Honda, so you know its reliable and well made. I also love the color - it is awesome looking. And the face that there are so many things you can do with it - its so versatile. From the tailgating canopy, to the dog fans, to the tire cover that converts to a table, and extra power outlets... there isn't much you can't do with it!

I love everything about the inside of the car. All the seat configurations make hauling things easy. And the back seats are cool because it is like theater seating and you can see over the people in front and also have plenty of leg room.

Incredible versatility. With the massive interior volume, flip-up/removable rear seats, hatch/tailgate combo, and other clever design features, this car is super underrated and currently no other modern SUV is remotely similar. You can haul just about anything, or even camp out in it (since the seats can fold into a bed), and since its a Honda, you know itll last a really long time with basic maintenance. Im kind of sad it took me this long to realize what gems these are.
