Replying to: sooperedd (Feb 09, 2007 5:25 pm) I just got an '07 EX 4WD automatic in Galaxy Grey for $20,992 (incl. dest.) + taxes & Calif BS-fees = $22.950 OTD. I had been doing a bunch of leg work but I thunk it paid off...

| We have been shopping for an Element EX 4WD in Northern Virginia during President's Day weekend. Prices are all about the same, a little below invoice, ranged from $21,600 to $21,400 including freight but not including taxes, tags or those pesky $300 dealer fees. We are still not sure it's the car for us, still looking. | |

So I'm purchasing my first car. I want a 07 LX, 2WD, AT. I was about to settle for a deal today... good thing I found this forum. I've visited one dealership, have gotten internet and phone quotes etc, for 4-5 dealerships in my area. The best price so far is $18,263, incl destination but not tax, title, etc..., at the Weir Canyon Anaheim Dealership. The Santa Margarita dealership offered me the same car with mud guards (not that I need them), and free lifetime oil changes for $18,700. Edmunds Invoice price for this car is $18,231. So basically, my best deal is right around the invoice price. Can I do better?

It took our dealership (Honda of Greeley, CO) nearly 3 weeks to get us a new Honda Element EX-P 2007 All Wheel Drive in the color that we wanted. I thought that it would be a piece of cake in the Denver area, but my guess is that they ordered it direct from the factory as it was given to us with 11 miles on it, plus it took them almost 3 weeks to get one once we agreed to the price. I also wanted to say that if you are a tall person, this car is great. We thought about buying the Honda Pilot but once I got in the 2nd seat behind the driver's side I said forget it. I'm five foot 10" tall. My husband is 6 feet. When I was driving my Ford Explorer XLT (with sunroof) my head was about 2" from the ceiling. When I hit a speed bump or a pot-hole, I sometimes could feel the ceiling on my hair. The Element's 2nd row has tons of leg room. For this reason we love this car. Very nice for taller than average folks. In Colorado we did find that the All Wheel Drive versions of the Elements were scarce. Fort Collins had none when we were looking as did Longmont. The sales people said that the AWD's were hard to keep on hand. |

I just bought a 2007 Element EX / Auto in grey metallic. I bought it from Weseloh Honda in San Juan Capistrano California. I bought it from the fleet manager, a guy named Steve Cheney who was very nice. I think he made me a fantatic deal. He sold me the Element for $20,400 (that include destination and handling). I was able to get a quote for $20,600 from Power but they were going to over charge me for the accessories I wanted. I added the following: wheel locks, door visors, a cargo tray, side steps, splash guards, fog lamps, a grey leather stering wheel wrap and a center console. The expensive part of the accessories was the labor to install (at least that's what other dealers told me). Steve added all the accessores and didn't charge me for labor. Out the door I paid $21,908 but I added $1400 in accessories. I had one dealer that was going to charge me $750 to install the side steps and fog lamps. I think I did ok? Any opinions? Thanks, Mark Combs

Replying to: cya33085 (Mar 16, 2007 7:35 pm) Not a fantastic deal but fairly reasonable. If steve charged you near list for the accessories, that practically paid for the install (there is a large markup) so you did ok there too. Last year the EX auto went for about $19000 for a really good deal over the summer. I know the list price went up by $1000 this year but don't know if they added anything. --jjf just bought a 2007 Element EX / Auto in grey metallic.

I have a quote for $19,400 del. + $199 admin. on an in-stock Element. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this, if I get the 0.9% for 3-years. No sales tax in NH! so OTD is $19,600 - though you do pay a fairly stiff city registration tax at town-hall. I'll add my own upgraded stereo which will be slightly  better than the EX's.
