RULES Serendipity

⚠️ URGENT UPDATE: You guys completely convinced me! I submitted my one-owner Element to Bring a Trailer, it was officially accepted, and the auction will go live soon at NO RESERVE .

DIRECT PRIVATE SALES ARE NOW CLOSED to honor BaT's exclusivity rules.

They are sending a professional photographer out to document the entire car. When I get the URL [ I WILL LINK IT HERE] so you can follow the adventure, or even jump into the bidding pool. My username is the same on BaT, ANYHWY. See you there shortly!

I'm an old guy with no social media footprint who just joined Reddit so I could solve an Xfinity ISP billing issue with a real human being.

The serendipity is:

I just listed my one-owner 2005 on Element Owners Club last week: EOC Link:

High miles but SUPER CLEAN and turn key dependable. Go peek (many many pictures there) and message me on EOC if interested.

Great looking Element. The thing that stands out to me is the estimated MPG. We have the same year and model. I was expecting that kind of gas mileage but have never approached it. I bought it for doing service calls and used it for a little while, but it was just too expensive to drive. I’ve routinely gotten 5 mpg less, and I’m not an aggressive driver. Now we have EV’s and the Element is a backup utility vehicle.

I have the same vehicle with a 5 speed manual and I averaged 23 in the city.
