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.

Is this a deal? by ces064

I live in Fresno, CA. A dealer just gave me a quote for 20,875 for a EX-P AWD automatic. This includes destination fee. Is this a good overall deal? I am going to buy it in Kiwi Green and I think this car is really unique and meets my needs but I just wanted some feedback.
 
Thanks

Gee... it seems that it is a local promation. I live in Chicago area and they offer 3.8% until May 1st but I rather have 0% or 1.9%. I do not know if any dealer will tell me in advance that 0% or 1.9% will be offered soon. I guess Ill ask around.

Does anyone know the Element's buy-rate money factor and residual value on a 36 month least at 12K miles/year? What kind of lease prices are people getting?

I think 20,875 is a pretty good deal consider the invoice for awd ex-p auto is around 20,600 excluding destination. Maybe to close the deal tell them to throw in the capets or something...
