I'm looking at the LX, manual trans.....the EX has some things I'm just not interested in at the price..where are you buying? I'm in LA and I'd been hoping to say under 18,000.
 How much does the tax and all the other things that add on to the price come to?

Tax, lic. and fees add to almost exactly 10% of the bare price. With a quote of $18,000.-- you will drive off for just under $19,800.--.
Personnally I do not think of the LX as a good value considering how much more one gets for the relatively modest price differential. chris.

Pleiades, I'm buying in nocal. It seems like they might be giving better proces on LXs because a lot of people are going for EX-P (Personally, I don't like the colored panels).
 
cwalti, you're now making think I should go EX:)
 
Anyone else wanna chime in?

You say nothing about 4WD or FWD, so I assume that is unimportant but why a manual trans? I would agree that a Civic Si would be a lot of fun to stir up the gear oil manually, but an Element?
Back to EX vs. LX...
The EX has all 4 seats in the high grade fabric, the sound system 270W with Kelton bass and 6 CD changer is plenty for all but the most fussy customers, the alloy wheels look much better then the full covers,
 
16" alloy wheels
• Front side airbags w/ passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)
• Remote entry system
• Metallic blue or solid black composite body panels on select EX models
• Map lights
• Overhead storage compartment
• Passenger-side seatback pocket
• Driver-side (front and rear) seatback bungees
• Steering wheel-mounted audio controls
• MP3/auxiliary input jack
• 270-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3/Windows Media™ Audio (WMA) playback capability and 7 speakers including a 6.5" patented DLP (Dynamic Linear Phase) subwoofer
• XMฎ Satellite Radio†
• Waterproof FXC™ fabric on front and rear seats
• Driver- and passenger-side armrests
• Steering wheel-mounted audio control
 
...all this for less than $1900.--
 
Again your needs may be unique...
 
I bought a '91 Accord LX new, still have it but whished I had opted up for the EX, especially since I do keep cars for a long time... I plan on keeping this Accord for another 10 years...

If you are in ncal you just miss it. It was on last weeks paper. Winter Honda in Antioch/Pittsburgh and Honda of Oakland both had long term 0% APR. I believe max borrow is $15000 with credit score above 715 for 48 months. GREAT deals. Don't worry it will come back again on Memorial Day...

what about cost co, and AAA buying assist? by pleiades

Does using Cost co or AAA buyer assistance really help?
Can their "fleet" prices really be better than shopping around?
what about waiting until the new models are due?
How low will car dealers go on a slow day?

Excellent Element Price in Boston Area by monty_hall

I picked up mine yesterday. 4WD EX auto trans: $19,562.00 + tax and registration.
 
That price is invoice minus dealer holdback minus $500 dealer cash from Honda passed on to me, in other words it's net cost to dealer. It is an advertised internet special on Herb Chambers of Boston website, and another dealer verified that $19,562 is net dealer cost on that model, including the $500 dealer cash that goes 'til the end of May. I also picked up the 8 yr 120k mi warranty for $1074.
 
Honda also has low financing for the Element until end of May, I financed for 4.9% 60 months. 3.9% / 36 mo is also available.
 
What a deal!
