Nobody ever sells Honda Elements. When I worked as a service advisor at the Honda dealership, people would ask me why they quit making them. I told them that people that own them love them and keep them forever vs replacing them every few years. The sales gradually declined to the point that it was not worth it to update the chassis for newer crash requirements

I bought a 1966 Mustang convertible in 1976. I still have it and drive it on a regular basis

I know I know all the Elements I find for sale have very high mileage. Im going to look until I find one. Has to be low mileage and manual gearbox. Perfect time to launch a new one it finally gets to be in

I have the same problem with VW Eos. It is a convertible with a metal roof.
I bought a 2008 in 2001 and kept it over 9 years.
They stopped making them in 2016.
In early 2021, I bought a low mileage 2014, reducing age by 6 yeas and mileage by 85 k. Unfortunately, that will be the last one.

I've never kept track. I've owned my current car for 15 years.

Hydraulic suspension and disc brakes. Air-cooled flat 4.

that must be a Citron GS (or GSA), because that's the only Citron meeting the description.

longest i have owned a car is a 1986 Saab 9000 CC 2.0i. i found it in Belgium and bought it for 125 Euro/175-ish dollar. it had 138.000km on the odo. i have had it since 2009, so almost 15 years. but it's been sitting on my driveway for about 5 years now. it needs some major TLC to get her back on the road.

I've owned my 1971 Alfa GTV for 21 years now... still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it!
