Sounds like you should get a quote from Vroom or Carvana and sell it then.
I'm in exactly the same boat. My son totaled my beloved Element a couple of years ago, and I finally found its replacement: a hybrid XL Maverick. Hard to beat the Element for reliability, but I'm hoping for the best.The Maverick is a great replacement for the Element. I would have bought a new Element but they didn't make one
Among other vehicles, I have an 04 Element that has 307k and runs well. My ordered Mav is the replacement and I would think it an equal range of price if both were new today. Finally, I'd say if they made the E today I'd be hard pressed not to purchase it.Honda Element comparison: Not saying anything at all, just found this interesting as I was wondering what it would be with 2021 dollars. Elements were sweet.
I've owned my truck since October and I have none of these issues the speakers could be a little bit better but that's 30 minutes from work and It's not even a $100 to replace and that would do your front doors and the tweeters in your - which would make a world of difference. Because I haven't had any of the problems that people have been Talking about the worst I had was my truck popped up His service charging system now took him to a dealer turns out there was a plug on the PCM that was a little loose and let a little water in they cleaned it out but Is dialectic grease in it and I have an added problem since my truck's also over 5000 miles. It is unfortunate that people are having problems but considering this is a new model that hasn't even technically been on the roads for more than 6 months I expect there To be some glitches or minor problems that they'll recall or fix for the next Charge of trucks that they make
No it's not and $20K is still a lot of money to spend on something that starts falling apart after a month.
Side note- MX50 looks like it might be a hit-
Thats they have had paint troubles since they mixed the first pot. Why I have always dreamed of having a car without paint. No body filler all hardware and welds exposed. Just clearcoat that dang thing and do it again for free when the warranty expires.
So I make $20 in Hawaii lets call that an Ohio $15 and that is being generous. I work 40hrs 4-10s. I chop cononuts for tourist and generally do anything a farm/tourist waterfall hotspot requires in a guy with tools, a truck, and a good brain. 7 years ago this may I worked at Morgal Mfg. in Ohio. They make pulleys, cogs, and other round stuff for tractors and such. They also make treadmill frames(230 a freaking day on 1 line 2 shifts??? who needs that many of 1 brand???) and alot of other stamped sheetmetal parts. I got in there at $10 in 2013, and hired on at $11 6 months later. Standard raises are $0.15 a yearand after 5 years I think it doubles to $0.30 or 0.50, but there is plenty overtime. Its a pretty standard Ohio job. You have to have atleast a couple years of mfg experience and be generally not 18-20. There are alot of jobs like that. Mine had about 100 people working there and it was part of a 3 factory business. Most of them are not making over $15 an hour. And they have families, and they need reliable cars. Not all of them drive new cars but alot of the ones over the 5 year level bought theirs new and a paying them down.
Not sure I understand what you're referencing here.
Hey Big Kahuna...noticed a ford rep contacted you on this thread concerning your issues. Did you ever respond to them?
Yes they asked for some contact info and details on what issues I was having. I basically told them the main issue is the paint. Interior plastic and seat fabric are annoyances right now not something I'd complain about to a dealer etc. My speaker rattle is probably an easy fix.
Ford has about two ways to resolve the issue on already built trucks. It is an issue and is being reported by plenty of people.
