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...

Thanks for the feedback. I went out and bought the car and could not be happier. I love it in Kiwi Green. I thought it was an overall good deal. Andy by the way I asked and they gave me the mats and wheel locks. Not too bad!

Dealer always wins ! Just like in Las Vegas.
If they lower the price of the car , they will still get you on the loan by adding few % to the rate given by the lender, extra warranty, lojack etc. - all those overpriced items make extra $$$ for the dealer.
Very good example of such practices is www.carsdirect.com
First question they will ak is ......"how much do you want to may per month"
They agree to one price & APR so you will give them deposit over the phone on your credit card etc. and 10 minutes later they will call you with some BS story that you do not qualify for previously given rate for some reason.....
And if you question their practices F&I "manager" or even a sales rep will hang up the phone. (happened to me yesterday)
90% of car sales people are BAD and not well educated, but they love to talk and will say anything you like as long as they can sell you that car.
I was a car salesman for a while, did not make much money since I do not like to cheat unwary customers.
 
Before anyone buys a car you will need to do their homework!

I am also in Northern California, I recieved two quotes for 2006. One for an EX-P 4WD for 20,477. The second was for a EX 2WD for 19,552. Does anyone have any advice is this a good buy? I think it is but would like any opinions here.

I just bought a EX=P 4WD for $20,477 (including destination charge) on Wednesday. I'm in Los Angeles. So obviously I think you're getting a good deal.

Hi,
 
For EX-P 4wd Automatic for $20477 sounds like a great deal! Just make sure they don't get you on the financing if you are borrowing from them. If you have excellent credit try negoiating it down.
