For sale is my meticulously maintained 2007 Honda Element AWD with an automatic transmission, equipped with a 4-pin 2” tow package and a low-mileage JDM engine from JDM Engine Bay in San Leandro, CA. With only 184,000 miles on the odometer and just 20,000–25,000 miles on the freshly installed Japanese engine, this Element is in exceptional condition, ready for daily driving, camping adventures, or off-road exploration. The vehicle shows minor wear and tear on the body, as expected for a nearly 20-year-old SUV, with some dents noted in the pictures. I’ve invested heavily in OEM parts and professional upgrades to make this the ultimate reliable and versatile SUV. It’s 100% rust-free, having spent its entire life in the Bay Area.
• Replaced original engine with a premium, low-mileage JDM engine from JDM Engine Bay who’s known for sourcing the highest-quality Japanese engines with rigorous compression testing.
• Only 20,000–25,000 miles on the new engine, which runs flawlessly with zero oil consumption.

• Modern Sony head unit with Apple CarPlay and a professionally installed backup camera.
• Includes a dash cam (I’ll assist with setup on your phone).
• Interior shows minor signs of wear, with small tears on the front driver seat, a common issue for Honda Elements of this age.

This Element was meticulously maintained, as I thought it would be my forever car and treated it with the utmost care to ensure long-term reliability. Unfortunately, circumstances have changed, leading to this sale.
• Transparent maintenance history with all work done professionally (by me) using Honda OEM parts.
• Clean title, no accidents.
• 184,000 miles on the body, but the heart of this Element (engine, suspension, brakes) is practically new.
• Ready to drive anywhere—perfect for road trips, camping, or daily commuting. Just drove it to Seattle and back.
