Let me start off by saying I have no one but myself to blame. Anybody who buys a used car without…read morefirst taking it to an independent mechanic for inspection is either independently wealthy or not very bright. I was in the market for a Honda Element. Honda introduced the Element in 2001 and discontinued it in 2011. The vehicle has developed a cult following since it's demise which means owners are asking way too much for them. Stafford Motors had a 2003 Element EX AWD that they were asking $5400 for. What attracted me to the vehicle wasn't just the low price, in fact the price made me a little leery. What attracted me was a clean Carfax report and a recent Virginia Inspection. The day of the test drive was not ideal. Traffic was horrible. The 95-mile drive took me three hours, jeopardizing my scheduled appointment to look at another Element in Leesburg. I arrived just before noon armed with a code reader and a flashlight. Unfortunately, I could not find the ODB port on this vehicle. The manual shows it just above the fuse box (above the gas pedal) but there was no port to be found. I'm no mechanic but I've owned enough hoopties' to look for the obvious problems: Oil/coolant leaks, rust, flood damage, etc. The car looked clean. I took it out for what I considered a vigorous test drive on the back road behind the dealership. I wasn't impressed with the acceleration but we're talking about a 3300-pound vehicle being pulled by a 2.4-liter 4 cylinder. I stomped on the breaks a couple of times. The pedal didn't feel as firm as I like but break jobs are within my wheelhouse, especially disk brakes. The paint on the upper dash was peeling a bit but I wasn't buying the car for its aesthetic beauty. I was more concerned with the mechanics. What I didn't do was take it out on the freeway. 95 south was a parking lot so I figured what's the point (fatal mistake number 1). I decided since the Carfax was clean and the vehicle was recently inspected, I would forego the mechanic's inspection (fatal mistake number 2) and buy the vehicle. I had driven my other car to the dealership so I arranged to pick up the Element the following Tuesday. Rebecca, the saleswoman, asked that I call her prior to coming out so that they could detail the car prior to pick up. Monday evening, I called her to let her know I would be arriving Tuesday just before noon. I showed up, as promised. They were still detailing the car and putting on temporary plates. Meanwhile, I filled out the final paperwork. They handed over the keys and I was on my way home. I jumped on 95 north and accelerated to highway speed. The vehicle seemed to have more pickup than it did during the test drive (great) but at about 70 miles per hour, I noticed it pulling to the right. At first, I chalked it up to wind (The shape of the Element isn't exactly aerodynamic) but when I let go of the wheel the vehicle practically changed lanes. "This thing is going to need an alignment," I thought. Turns out it was going to need much more than that. During the Maryland State inspection, the mechanic flagged three items. The windshield wipers (no big deal), the rack and pinion assembly (Wait, what?) and a leaky power steering pump. The repairs would cost 1600 dollars. I asked them to hold off and called Rebecca. "Call the warranty company and see if it's covered," she suggested. I already knew the answer before I called but the "limited" warranty only covered engine and drive train. I was screwed. The sale was "as is." An independent mechanic would have flagged the problem immediately but old dummkopf decided to skip the inspection. It wasn't even a matter of money. I would have gladly paid for the inspection. I just didn't want to waste another day driving back and forth from Stafford. The trip took me 6 and a half hours. I didn't want to dedicate another day to Stafford Virginia. I called Pep Boys and told them to go ahead with the repairs. This would be another expensive lesson dished out by a Virginia Used Car lot. Pep Boys didn't have the part in stock so it would be a couple of days until the work could be completed. I went over the sequence of events that led to my stupid decision. Then it hit me. If this vehicle doesn't meet Maryland State requirements, how the hell did it pass a Virginia Inspection? I knew why the CarFax report didn't mention anything. The problem probably was never reported. I went online to see what my options were. I called Stafford Motors and requested the name of the garage that performed the inspection. I know there are garages out there that will pass unsafe vehicles for a little scratch on the side. If this is one of them, I intend to report them to the Virginia State Attorney's office. I know it probably won't get me my money back but hopefully, it will put the inspectors and Stafford Motors on blast. Virginia used car dealers: Avoid at all costs.

They promised to show me the Carfax upon arrival, so I agreed to go give it a test drive. Long story short, I got over my fears and made the purchase. After reading these other reviews, I'm surprised I didn't have a bad experience like they did. However, I haven't received my plates or 2nd key yet, so I'll have to revisit this review later. ***UPDATE*** We received our plates and 2nd key well before the temporary plates expired. We are happy with our experience! They have some great looking cars on the lot, just FYI.

Ok, so here is the update... they did fix the lights; turns out there was short caused by someone…read moreleaving the trunk open in the rain which is apparently why there was about a foot of water in the wheel well in the trunk. They did not however ever fill up the gas tank. So we took delivery of a vehicle with no gas... even after getting it fixed when they could have taken it next door and filled up they didn't. The tire sensor appears to have gone out according my BF - I guess when they fixed the short, it fixed that as well... The dealer kept hassling me for a binder and I told them that when we got the car back and were confident that we were going to keep it, I would provide them with the binder but that there was no need to add it to my insurance if we weren't going to keep it. Another thing that came up... a major accident repair was not disclosed to us upon purchase, nor did it appear in the Auto Check report (recall that's what we got when we asked for the Car Fax). But, apparently my insurance agent, while adding it to my policy found that there had been a major repair for body work costing over 9K. That was hard to believe considering that is half the worth of the vehicle (new ones NOW sell for 18K base) - I thought if a repair cost that much that they would just total a vehicle. Anyway, the failure to disclose does not sit well with me, but again, it is the BF's car; asked if he still wanted it and he said yea... so, we still have it... I would have turned it back over tot he dealer and gone and gotten the other one of which I spoke in Arlington. Although I said I might bump up the star rating, because of the failure to disclose the major repair and car history I have to keep it here. Am actually tempted to drop it, but, they were prompt in repairing the lights and the little guy who did it actually seemed quite good. So there is the update... bottom line is buyer beware; but that's really applicable I think to ANYONE when dealing with auto dealers. If I had to do anything different, knowing now what I know, anytime I go to purchase another used vehicle, I will be calling my insurance agent first since they have no vested interest in the transaction and in this case, found what apparently the dealer and Auto Check couldn't. There you have it folks. Cheers @

The loan approval indicated I could pick the check up from any branch. Initially I thought it odd that I would need to pick up a check since I have an account with them. The fastest way to payoff my current loan with the NFCU loan would have been to deposit it to my own account and pay it off online. This was not possible. The check was made out to me, and the current loan company, meaning I would need to sign the check and mail or fed ex it to the appropriate loan company, where they can sign it and then deposit for the payoff and release of title. When I went in to have NFCU issue a new check as I had tried to deposit the check through my phone and the deposit was rejected after I had already written "for mobile deposit only to NFCU" as is required for mobile payments. The gentleman in the loan department was training someone, when I asked him the reason the check was issued this way, i'm paraphrasing, but he indicated it was basically due to individuals not making good financial decisions, and sometimes taking the checks for the car loans and waiting for them to become personal loans in 90 days and not paying off the car and sending in the title. He indicated this process keeps people from using the money for other things. This really irritated me, but I kept my mouth closed during what felt like a lecture. The fact that NFCU feels they need to save individuals from making poor financial decisions is demeaning. If you are going to approve a loan, do it. If not, don't issue the loan. While it may be the intent of some account holders to take the money and not do what they said they would do, it's ridiculous to believe every loan recipient would do the same thing. To hold every loan applicant to the same standard seems ridiculous. I do appreciate a lot of what NFCU does, this process really missed the mark, at least for me. Again, this review is only related to the car refinance loan process.

I've left it here so you can see... when I purchased my car, they gave me a Due Bill (on Jan 9, 2026) for a part that needed to be replaced. Initially they said the part would probably be in the following week. Today is March 24th... after multiple attempts on my part to get the promised repair, it's still not fixed. I have contacted the dealership as well as Ike the owner... I began documenting our communications. At this point they are not acknowledging my attempts to reach them. I had problems getting my temporary tags when the permanent tags were not received. I started by interacting with them via phone because they were great when I bought the car... but they didn't follow through on what they said via phone. Now I insist on all communication being in writing. I suggest you do the same. Yes, I was very happy with the purchase process as I stated below, but after they got my money, their aftercare IS HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. I will NOT recommend them... at all!
