The Honda Element is a versatile box on wheels, combining unique and practical features with utilitarian chic. Honda designed the Element for young adventurers who need to haul wet or messy gear, but with the security of an enclosed cargo area.
The Element is powered by Honda's i-VTEC 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. It comes with a choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. All models are available with front-wheel drive or Honda's Real Time 4-Wheel Drive. The 4WD models feature a large rear skylight that tilts open or removes completely and stores inside the vehicle. The 2006 Honda Element comes in three trim levels, LX, EX and EX-P. Safety features on all Elements include front seatbelts with pre-tensioners and load limiters to reduce the chance of belt-related injuries. EX models include ABS and front-seat side-impact airbags for torso protection.
For 2006, the Honda Element features a host of equipment changes and adds a new trim level called the EX-P.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Honda Element, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Honda Element for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Honda Element was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Honda Element is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Honda Element will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Honda Element is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
