I was quoted $300 below invoice for a 2006 Element LX AWD (Kiwi metallic) which came to 18,660 (incl Destination) + TTL. I am in Houston TX.
 
Is this a good price ?
 
Can you guys post some of the prices you got on a LX AWD?
 
Thanks .

i bought a 2005 honda here in LA over the internet. (the place where i went to test-drive it were less than helpful.) i emailed all the local honda dealers. got a few responses. and the dealer i bought from was willing to tell me how much it would cost me; (i'm leasing it). learned this from my wife who's bought/leased two cars this way. great car. love to drive it. (don't have the towing package.)
 
good luck!

Bought a Black 2006 Honda Element EXP AT 2WD for $19575 including dest fee. this is in california where they are selling pretty well. i suggest going through internet or fleet sales and seek outside financing to avoid the salepeople as much as possible. i bought mine from an area in L.A where the element isnt selling as well....(non beach community)

Just closed the deal today! by mt25

Used advice found on www.carbuyingtips.com (and other sites) and gave my dealer a written offer to buy a Metallic Orange 2006 Element EX-P AWD Automatic (no options) for 20,540.00 + $550 destination. Total price: $21,090.00 before tax, license, etc. The salesman didn't blink (couldn't see him anyway- he was on the phone) and accepted the offer w/o haggling. So... my first thought was: "O.K., what did I miss? Some secret incentive or double holdback plan or something???" (It always sucks to start second guessing one's self.)
 
By my calculation (barring some secret built-in profit that I missed), I gave them a 3% profit of $598.25 with the salesman getting about a $50 commission.
 
Someone ease my mind or hit me with the truth: How'd I do??

Hello.
 
That is pretty close to an internet price quote I received from a Honda dealer in Dayton, OH. I was looking for an Element EX-P AWD, automatic, and he provided a quote of $21,065, so very similar. Don't know if there is more wiggle room here, because I am going back and forth between wanting an Element or a Forester, so I haven't pursued the Element further.
 
Hope you enjoy yours!
 
Does anyone know when the 2007 Elements will come out -- and if they will have either curtain or head protecting side airbags -- this is the primary issue that is preventing me from choosing the Element over the Forester.
 
Thanks

In Northern California, I got several quotes and they are going for invoice (like, 19900 withno options)including destination charges for 06 EX-P manual AWD. For $21065 for an automatic, they added the 550 destination to the invoice, so I bet if you offer at invoice (like 20500), you will get the car. I try bargaining with the options I wanted and no Honda dealer will do that consider the price they quoted me. Anyways, I am waiting for this Memorial day for better financing like, 1.9%. Maybe they will have a promotion or something. Than, I will certainly pick one up. I love this car!

One of the Honda dealer near my area already had 0% and 1.9% long term financing for all 06s models a month ago. I have a hunch that they will repeat this during Memorial day weekend. I also went to another dealership after the promotion 2 weeks later and told them about match the rates that was advertised and they did base on your credit score of course. They first told give me 3.9% bs, and later I show them the newspaper and they check my credit and say okay. But I never got the car because I couldn't get the options I wanted for the price I wanted.
