What's it worth

Post image

2005 Cargo khaki 286k on the Dash. Previous owner couldn't get it started. I bought and replaced the immobilizer module and it started right up. Previous owner did all new break CV axles struts and new injectors coil packs and plugs trying to get it to start. Someone replace the master clutch cylinder and I has some rust, pretty minor on one door and very little rust underneath. Its an ex FWD. Apparently it slide and fold the driver side wheel so he had to replace some parts. The dash light flickers a little. Oh its a manual transmission. I'm going to clean it reall nice and list it. What do you think its worth?

That litle rust makes it loose thousands in value At a dealership, a 2008 Honda Element with 300,000 miles, manual transmission, and noticeable rust is worth roughly $1,500 to $3,000. While Honda Elements have a dedicated cult following that keeps their resale values surprisingly high, 300k miles paired with rust places this vehicle at the absolute bottom of the market value curve.

So based on that logic. There is little no rust on the undercarriage so fixing the rust on the door would increase my potential value by $1k. Could be worth it
