#2585 of 4704 Element accessories? by kjab Aug 25, 2003 (2:03 pm)
I'm wondering about the cabana. Is it worth the $? I go camping often and thought this might be worth trying out, but will skip it if too complex to set up or too flimsy. Also, how about that armrest console - seems like we could use a few more storage spots. Has anyone installed one?   I bought a 4WD EX green a few weeks ago and am really enjoying it! Everyone I show it to loves it too.   Thanks for any feedback.

Ok, this is a late response, but better late than never. Yes, I am actually in Colorado. I bought my Element at John Elway. Good experience there over all. I'm moving to Arizona this week however, so will need to find a service center there.   Had the Element for 3 months now (3400 miles) and still love it. It's great for my family of three and any outings we take.
#2587 of 4704 Where a good pictures? by s852 Aug 26, 2003 (7:10 pm)
Where are some good high-res photos clearer and larger than what you can see on the Honda.com web site?

hi folks,   this is my first time posting a message, because i am quite intimidated by writing/chatting online in open forums, particularly when everyone is seemingly so well informed and you(that'd be me)don't know much about anything. anywho, i will try to be brief, though i probably won't be:o/... i'm a working class, middle aged broad that does not purchase a car every 4-5 years, vowed to never ever purchase a brand new car again, and is(was)quite happy to be rollin' in my PAID FOR! hooptie...that is...until i saw the ad for this stupid car in nov'02...i was pretty much done for...by dec'02 i learned of this discussion board and i've been checking in ever since...thankfully you guys talked me down from my Element induced high that had me wanting to buy the first one off the production line(lack of funding is a pretty good buzz-buster also:o|)...blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda...okay, so today i signed about ten undotted lines for a: EX 2WD Automatic(G/Green) Fog Lights Wheel Locks Splash Guards TOTAL sale price: 20,600.00   so, from 1 to 10, ten being "You go girl!" and one being "Dude, you got jacked!"...send me a some numbers kindly people...   thanx in advance for all of your input, because i probably won't be back...again this was my first time In Life! jumping on one of these thingys and i am really just completely out of my element:o|...yes, cheesey pun one could see coming from down the block and around the corner was fully intended...tee hee...sorry folks...thanx again...okay...bye...

Oh no, you can't just fade back into the woodwork again now that you own one of these practical vehicles! Let us know how it goes with it!   I can't give you any idea about what type of deal you got compared to other people - I haven't talk money to anyone yet. However, here's how I think about it: if you want that particular vehicle more than you want the dollars, then you've done the right thing. I love my 5 year old (and also paid for) Wrangler and while I only got a fair, not great, deal on it, it has been worth every cent I paid for it. We also own a 2000 Tacoma, which I dislike intensely. I got an excellent "deal" on it but for me it certainly isn't worth the money I'm paying for it. If I could afford to take a huge loss on it, I would dump it in a heartbeat, but it isn't yet worth what I owe on it, and I can't afford to take such a hit.   Bottom line is if you are happy with the vehicle, you got a good deal.
#2591 of 4704 thank you mtngal.... by mbatt Aug 27, 2003 (9:03 pm)
...come to think of it when i bought my crx si 13 years ago, the dealer got a nice chunk of my hide(and pride)...but no matter, because my little bugger has served me quite, quite well...in spite of the fact that i haven't always taken the best care of it:o( ...thanx again for the sage advise and as of right now, i'm gonna just flow with that!

I would generally say anything about midway between invoice and MSRP (including add-on options prices as well) is a pretty good deal on an Element. I have gotten quotes between 120 and 300 over invoice, but I'm looking for a 5-speed EX so I think they might go cheaper being harder to sell (maybe?), but I won't be adding any options and I know they can be expensive.    BTW my parents have paid full MSRP on every car they've bought (I'm old enough now to tell them what they should pay - thanks to Edmunds). And they never thought to do anything else, so really no matter what you paid, there are people who got burned worse out there! Elements are a good value even AT MSRP.

your parents, however, have most likely been perfectly happy with not haggling, doing business in an hour instead of 4 or 5, and going on their merry way. JD power has proven time and again that price has NOTHING to do with a good deal. a good deal is a deal that both parties are happy with. also, a new study shows that the less time someone spends making a car deal, the happier they are about their experience...regardless of the price they paid.

lol, spoken like a true car dealer.   Better change your spiel; consumers are getting better educated every day, thanks to people like Zenzikora.   I do agree with you about the time factor. That's why I negotiated my last two cars via fax and email. The less face time with a car salesperson, the better.   Steve, Host
