funny you should say that...just got off the phone with a lady selling a 2004 element with 10k miles and 5spd for $18500! - i've got a dealer out the door price (taxes, tags, title, fees, dest charge etc of $19900)...if i got the used on i'd still have to pay at least $500 in taxes and then would own a used element stick with 10k miles for 900 less than a brand new one
i think the manuals are harder to find so they get more for them
