I just got done buying my new Element. I ended up purchasing from Honda of Bellevue but only because they were offering me an additional powertrain warranty. I had to walk out and was on my way to purchase from Honda of Seattle. Bellevue called me back and decided to match the offer from Seattle (plus I got a few extras): I paid $22,171 + tax and license. The price included destination, wheel locks, mud flaps and door guards plus the extended powertrain warranty. So, if you don't want to go through the hassle, I would definitely buy from Honda of Seattle. I called them and asked what their best price was as I was going to buy today. They offered me a great deal $22,371 + tax, license and the 3 extras without the misery of playing games. |

I have recieved an OTD price of $19,062 from dealer in Baltimore via the internet (base = $17,871.) I haven't yet stepped into the dealer, so don't know what I'm in for!  ) This is the best prices I've recieved after sending out emails for quotes. This is for a 2007, 2WD, LX, manual. From reading the above posts, it sound pretty good....but, should I be able to do better? Thanks for any input!

Replying to: zad (Jan 16, 2007 12:48 pm) So, I added floor mats, mud guards, and an extra free for having to go get the car in New Jersey (adding 200 miles to the brand new vehicle!) All in all, I think I did ok...but definitely not GREAT. (I guess I always feel as though I should negotiate a bit harder...) But, being armed with all these prices really helped!

Replying to: ellielou (Jan 16, 2007 4:09 pm) Now for the nuts and bolts. Dealer's internet price for the SC is $21,976.79, ($350 below invoice),and includes destination charge of $595, mudflaps and the standard SC options).Spoiler w/installation is an additional $485. With my '98 CRV trade-in of $6000, (Edmunds trade-in price is $6160, KBB is $6945) after tax,tags, title, etc, walk out price is $18141.16. As we were shaking hands good bye, the sales person asked what needed to happen to close the deal, I told him they'd have to come up on the trade in price. Is this walk out price a good deal? The other dealerships are qouting above invoice. |

| Drove my Root Beer Element SC home last night. Went through a different dealer who gave me a better price on my trade-in. Original OTD qoute was $23,8000, with tailgate spoiler came to $23,975. With trade I paid $17,000. I shopped several dealers, thank goodness for the internet. Made things alot easier, less hassle dealing with sales people. Honda Hennessy of Woodstock, GA were great, no pressure and I felt they were straight with me. As straight as sales people can be I guess.(When the internet salesperson told me" we'd rather have you finance than pay cash, we make more money off of you"), I thought hey at least she admitted it. Highly recomend reading all of Edmunds info on buying tips.Love the car, love the color! | |
