Honda Element Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Just bought one in Portland, Oregon

Written by: makila on Oct 25, 2004 09:20 AM

2004 Black EX AWD Automatic for $20,000 plus $218 for title, license, registration, etc. in Portland, Oregon. First, my husband and I went to Ron Tonkin Honda on 122nd because they gave us a Costo Price quote of $20,207 for an EXS (but they added on a ton of accessories that weren't included in that quote). To make a long story short, the sales manager then offered ... Read More...

Re: 2004 Honda Element LX AWD

Written by: nurseben on Sep 23, 2004 11:32 AM

I just bought a 2004 Element LX AWD Manual for $17,984. What makes this a GREAT price is that the dealer got within $200 of Carmax on my trade. Carmax pays the best on trades if you have a new car. My trade was a 2004 truck. What has worked for me in the past is to get the best price possible upfront, which usually means buying late in the model year, buying a manual transmission, ...

Thank you for your reply deadfish. In addition to the quote of $17,522.00, I have been offered a cargo tray, which retails through cheaphondaparts.com for $69.30, plus sales tax, shipping, and handling. Not nearly enough. I am hoping that the Internet sales manager will somehow "sweeten the deal" to secure the sale. He is a good man, and I would like to give him ... Read More...

lgroses My brother just bought a 2004 LX Auto Fwd (Orlando, Fl) for $16,500 + Tax, Fees etc... $18,500 Out the door (no rebates or trade in). The doc fees here are $499+. I think $17,522.00 for a LX AWD sounds about right. You couldn't beat that price in this area (Orlando). Read More...

(Invoice is $18,322.00.) Dealer financing has been offered at 2.90%. Can I do any better than this? Should I wait, perhaps, another month or two? Please reply with any comments ... Read More...

'05 Element - Not due till December 15

Written by: nowakj66 on Sep 09, 2004 00:22 PM

I called American Honda and they told me that the new 2005 Element will be introduced December 15. It looks like it will be just about the last Honda to get updated. Perhaps they have a lot of 2004s left to sell. Read More...

Engine Light/ Auto Shifter Locked(serv. bulletin)

Written by: parky on Aug 04, 2004 04:56 AM

First, we love our element. The past weekend the engine light came on at 10K miles, and at the same time the shifter locked in place. The light coded a faulty ECM(main computer). It was replaced, and then another engine light code for Barametric pressure. That sensor was replaced. The auto shifter lock was due to a throttle body service bulletin. You can pop the ...

Re: Element as car for family with infants - crazy? [nowakj66]

Written by: anonymousposts on Aug 09, 2004 09:05 AM

"Is an Element a crazy car for a family?" I have seen several young families in Elements. The height, interior room, and low-maintenance interior make this an attractive option for couples with young kids. "I have never driven with an infant for any length of time in my Accord, so to be fair, I am not sure if an automatic might be better than a stick for a new father ... Read More...
