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.
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!
I saw a used element as in MA. Owner is asking for $17000. It is 2005 Element EX 4WD with 32000 miles on it. He is giving 7 yr/100,000 miles honda warranty (0 deductible) along with the car.
is this a good offer that I can go for? help me!
Looks like it's time to pull the trigger.
Any opinions?
Thanks
Any opinions on this?
2008 LX 2wd, Kiwi, Auto for 19,000 + ttl. I was a pleasant experience. I called the Internet Sales Dept., told them that I wanted the car for 19k. Byron, Internet Sales Manager, send me the confirmation via email. I drove there to sign the papers and drove out in less than 90 mins.
In perusing the internet on cars.com, I see on '06 with 9K for the same price, though it's 1000 miles away. Is there a big difference between the two years besides body style? I would REALLY appreciate any tips and feedback anyone has to give as we look seriously at purchasing an Element. I am concerned a bit about the lack of mpg...and all of the repair messages in this forum!
No ext. warranty... no extras
That's the price I paid back in Sept.
$17,250 + fees/taxes
$411 for the Honda Total Care service plan for 7 years / 100,000 miles, $0 deductible
Left dealership smiling! Thanks Edmunds!
If I remember correctly, the EX AWD Auto has a similar MSRP as the SC Auto.
I would love to have a SC but I need the AWD.
Two questions for the group, then:
First, anyone care to share a recent Utah buying experience -- your OTD price on an 07 or 08 EX, and who you bought it from?
Second, where does one find information about incentives/rebates/cash back to the dealer from Honda? In an earlier message yaqui316 wrote "I see that there's $1500 cash back to the dealer to them, so they're still making $500-$1000 on the deal" in describing his experience.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
There is an incentives and rebates link on Edmunds home page. Click new cars, then look towards the top of the page and you'll see it. It may take a day or two to update for November promotions.
The dealer incentive money is different than a customer rebate, as it will simply come straight off the top of your negotiated price. Meaning, if they quoted you invoice on the car and then you told them you were aware of the MFD incentive and were wiling to give it to you, then in essence you've now negotiated a price of $1000 below invoice. There should be no reason that they wouldn't allow you that money. It's only on '07's though.
Good luck!
Only thing I may regret not buying was the package for paint protection (can't remember exactly what they called it... clearcoat?). Not sure if I'll be able to find comparable service outside the dealership. It guaranteed no fading of paint color for 5 years. Any suggestions for a replacement? I live in AZ so sun exposure is a daily occurence.
2008 Honda Element SC
MSRP: $24,210.00
Selling
Price: $22,377.00 ($400 below invoice) + TTL
Plus, qualified and took the 4.9% for 5 years.
08 EX 4WD (my 2nd choice at first): Best price (out of 6 dealers): $21166+Dst+Proc+Tax... but I will be buying from 2nd best price of $22852 walk out the door ($21215+Dst+Proc+Tax). I like the 2nd one best because of the sales person... No fuss or delay.. within minutes he gave me his best price and left me alone to leave or stay.
Why I choose EX vs SC:
1. The dealer's promise of 19700+Dst+Proc+Tax ended up not being true
2. More importantly, I felt every bump on road with sc because of low profile tire. EX was much easier to ride... this is just a personal thing.. it was a hard decision for me.
Comments or questions...refer to snowshoe1502 and I will answer.

MSRP is $23,825. The selling price is $21,701. Dealer processing fee is $99. Maryland 5% sales tax is $1090. Transfer tags are $141. So total on the road is $23,031.
I just paid (today) 23,031 EX Auto fogs, window visors, hood deflector OTD including tags and tax. I am in Maryland. And...I got a good $ on my CR-V trade in!
Yes it's the EX....picked it up last night in SC. I squeezed a little more and ended up paying 23,628 for all the options taxes and tags. $23,628.00 Total paid.
I took the 3.9% APR for 60 months. I will pay it off early but this was the best rate I could afford. I like the 0.9% but we could not come to terms on my trade in... I'm better off selling it anyway. I will post the break down on my deal later. Maybe it will help some others.
Also, I made it clear that I didn't want to pay for extras accessories that sometime come on new cars such as mud flaps etc. But the dealer found one car with them and then didn't even ask me to pay for them. I thought that was very nice of them.
What do you know about buying extended warrantees?
Though I believe in Honda and they last. I had one dealer offer free lifetime power train warranty but he was 600.00 higher than my lowest price. I am not an expert at all but I have owned 8 Hondas and had no trouble. I own 2 1971 600 coupes! These were the first hondas to come to the states.
Cheers!
Good luck

I am not a fan of the extended warranty..but I have NOT researched the extended warraties at all.

That is not ever 10% not a real bargain wondering if that is a good deal or maybe I should wait a little longer but the money is trying to burn a hole in my pocket...
I will keep looking this weekend but any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and I love it w/trade and 2.9 for 60 mos financing under $18,000 I'm in Portland OR.
We are looking at the Honda EX AWD AT here in Denver....and the best price quote we have gotten so far is $22,325 (no extras on the vehicle,,,,and no floor mats etc....added)... You got yours in January, 2008 for $20,350....and here it is almost 4 months later (closer to the 09's coming out) and that's what they are demanding in Denver...
What dealership in Ohio did you deal with? It would be worth going back there!!!
