Bought a 2008 Honda Element a few months ago. it had a noise in the back passenger side wheel which they said they would fix before I bought it. Needless to say a few months later the same noise is back. Take it to a shop to find out the front brakes are completely siezed and need replaced, 2 struts in the rear, and find out it's in overall rough shape. repairs cost me close to $3000 on top of what I already paid for the car! I wouldn't have bought this car if I knew how many problems it had. I honestly feel they put a bandaid fix on the broken strut just to get the car off the lot and didn't tell me about all the other problems that were about to happen to it. very expensive lesson learned... never trust a used car salesman and never buy a used car without getting an independent mechanic to look over the car closely before purchasing. be wary buying from here and be SURE to have your vehicle checked by a mechanic BEFORE you hand them any money! I'd recommend buying your car elsewhere.
