Advice to prospective HC EW purchasers. Never pay retail. Use the online if you must, as what HC Ew is worth.Pay not a penny more regardless of where you buy.

Replying to: tidester (Sep 28, 2008 12:08 am) I think Honda should rethink their stance on this issue. The policy they have adopted is just Un-American.   LETTER TO THE EDITOR FROM AUTOMOTIVENEWS.COM   Saccucci: Let's hear it for free enterprise DALE FEIGLEY, MILFORD, MICH. THE WRITER IS A FORMER AUTO DEALER. SEPTEMBER 22, 2008 - 12:01 AM ET   To the Editor:   Boohoo for Honda and the Honda dealer group ("Honda's family squabble," Sept. 8).   Here comes an enterprising young man, Gardiner Reynolds, who builds a better mousetrap to help save a small family dealership. He is successful in selling Honda extended warranties over the Internet to help keep the small store afloat.   Initially, Honda loves it and uses him as a model of entrepreneurship in America. The big Honda dealers, however, are losing business to him and want Honda to shut him down.   Having had a small, family-owned dealership near a large metropolitan area, I know how difficult it is to compete with much larger dealerships and dealership groups. The big stores had no problem selling in our area with cut-rate pricing. However, when customers needed personal service or had a service problem they couldn't get handled, they came back to us.   Sound familiar? That is a fact of life in business. That is free enterprise. You big guys could do the same thing that this whiz, Gardiner Reynolds, is doing for Saccucci Honda. Quit crying and get back to work.

I got 7yrs /75000 miles on 08 Odyssey for $1275.   I don't know how long you've had the Honda Care. I've never tried to cancel a newly purchased Honda Care, but I have canceled Honda Care when I sold a vehicle. I was told to contact the dealership that I purchased it from. When I did, they sent a form to the Honda corporate office and I received a refund check very shortly afterwards.   I would start by calling your dealer and saying that you wish to cancel. Sometimes, they will give you the runaround. If that happens call the Honda Care number that came with your info packet and they should be able to help you out.

#2718 of 3107 Help with confused, ready to buy Element EX '08 (PLEASE) by heyheyjude Oct 01, 2008 (11:41 am)
First of all, I hope I'm posting this in the right place and apologize if I'm not. I'm freaking out because I'm so confused about several things and I'm literally planning on buying an Element in the next week or two. I've read SO much on here, and today I went through the process of getting 3 price quotes on the EX AWD, manual. I've been researching everything about the vehicle on this site for several weeks, tho it may not seem like it. 1. I'm getting bombarded with e mails and phone calls from the 3 dealerships from whom I requested quotes and all of them keep making reference to my '4W Element', although I requested info. on the 'AWD'. IS there an AWD as stated and why aren't any of the salesmen addressing that instead of a 4WD? 2. This is going to sound so stupid, but I thought options (which aren't available from what I read) were the same thing as accesseries. I just went to the Honda website and saw a long list of them, so that has thrown me off. Would any Element owner recommend any interior accessories in particular, although I'm basically looking for practicality with a tad of snazzyness and a canine-mobile? (I.e., the arm rest with storage, etc.) 3. Could someone please explain what this salesperson means by this statement in the e mail: "Any pricing information that follows via email or on the phone is only valid through our Internet Department Manager". 4. Ditto on this question a different salesperson asked me in an e mail:  "Do you specifically and only have to have a 2008 Honda Element or would you consider a similar vehicle especially if I could save you several hundred dollars?" (What does he mean by that and why would he be asking me that question??). I don't know if this matters, but this is going to be a cash purchase. Secondly, I really am sorry for my ignorance and the length of this post. I have looked this site over despite my questions. I'm a scared woman when it comes to buying new vehicles and would truly be grateful for any help. Thank you SO MUCH!

Replying to: heyheyjude (Oct 01, 2008 11:41 am) First of all, I hope I'm posting this in the right place and apologize if I'm not.   Hi,   Your post is fine, but it will probably get a better response if you post it here:   Honda Element Prices Paid and Buying Experience   http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.ef17c0e/0!make=Honda&model=Element&ed_mak- eindex=.ef17c0e   The forum you posted it in is mainly for discussion of extended warranties. Good luck with your vehicle purchase! Replies to this message: heyheyjude (Oct 01, 2008 1:36 pm)
