| still haven't purchased the element 2wd lx yet-i got an email this morning saying the same dealership is offering employee pricing for one day but will not tell you what that is until you come in. it also has to be an in stock vehicle-all hondas except the fit were included in this sale. so, my question is this, i got a quote of $18,824 plus tax-title-do you think their new employee price will be a lot less? i hate to waste my time if it is just one of the dealers games. thanks | |

In Los Angeles area... 07 Element EX 4WD Auto - dealer offered $21800 (without tax, lic fees) For accessories: fog lights - $770 parts+install side steps - $750 parts+install roof rail - $450 parts+install carpet mats - $191 part only total accessories = $2161 out the door would be ~$26500 (with tax, etc) He claimed 21800 was their net, accessories seem expensive... Opinions? What should I expect to pay for a car with these accessories installed? |

| Just got a Black SC, manual for 20602, (not including NY tax,) which is 1100 under invoice! I feel pretty good about that. Apparently all the dealers in the area were clearing out their cars, trying to get the number one Honda dealer spot at the end of May. | |

Just bought a ex 4wd manual transmission for $20100 (+ doc fee 300) from Herb chambers ,Boston.The sales team and the finance manager were excellent.They did 'cheerfully' quote their price on the phone as they promise in the newspaper ads.They did not pressure me into buying accessories or warranties (overtly).They got me the 2.9% finance with out hassle. BTW the best quote for a automatic was around $20900 + doc fee $300.This was from Boch Honda but I am guessing that Herbchambers probably will match. I am a Newhampshire resident hence didnt have to pay taxes. |

Asked for price quotes from about 6 dealerships in the area Thursday evening. Got quotes from 4 of them the following morning and exchanged some emails to get an idea of inventory and color choices (I also checked online at dealership websites). There were NO 4WD available in the San Diego county at this time, and color options were highly limited (mostly silver, grey, some blue, and one solitary orange). I considered waiting for the 2008 to see if there would be any new upgrades, but it sounds like they are releasing the exact same cars with some possible color changes. Didn't want to wait 'til September to get my car. Hence, Saturday morning, I went out and bought the one and only orange Element available. I asked the dealership to match the lowest quote I had received ($400 less than their quote), and they did. A couple hours after walking in (dang, paperwork takes a long time!), I drove out in my brand new Element! Paid $20,738 (not including taxes, fees) for a... Tangerine Metallic EX 2WD (automatic) with mud guards (included by dealer) wheel locks (included by dealer) phantom guard (included by dealer) roof rack (I added) cargo cover (I added) cargo net (I added) This was a little over $2K off MSRP, and I'm guessing around $700-800 off invoice (invoice for model without any accessories is ~$20,800 for my zip code). As far as the accessories, I had written down the prices from the honda website, and then asked the dealership how much they cost with installation. I thought their prices were reasonable. For example, a roof rack (according to honda.com) costs $299. They charged $318 including installation. Dealership: Poway Honda Brynda and Kathie were very pleasant... I'm lovin' my car!
