You are welcome! About your second post, I don't know where you are (for some reason I thought Washington state?), but it could make a difference in how much inventory they have. In my experience the volume dealers (the ones who sell more cars) are likely to have a larger supply of Elements (its my understanding that they are given "x" number Elements for "x" number ...

Please help! confused, ready to buy Element

Written by: heyheyjude on Oct 01, 2008 02:35 PM

First of all, I hope I'm posting this in the right place and apologize if I'm not. I'm freaking out because I'm so confused about several things and I'm literally planning on buying an Element in the next week or two. I've read SO much on here, and today I went through the process of getting 3 price quotes on the EX AWD, manual. I've been researching everything about ... Read More...

Ask your dealer if they install the 3M clear bra. It is just a clear covering that goes over the front end and about six inches up on the hood. Barely noticeable and works very nicely. Read More...

Re: Dealer Cash available on leases? [cscds]

Written by: Car_man on Sep 08, 2008 03:08 AM

Hey Cynthia. Yep, Honda is still providing the same dealer cash on the 2008 Element. The destination fee is legit. It is essentially part of vehicles' prices and every consumer has to pay it. The tire tax is legit as well. The doc fee is a different story though. While most dealers charge consumers some sort of doc fee, it really isn't much more than a way for them to ... Read More...

Honda Element Prices Paid and Buying Experience

Price paid today for EX 4WD in Cincinnati

As I always do, I called about 15 dealers locally and in surrounding states, and found the best deal at Coleraine Jeff Wyler Honda in Cincinnati. For a 2008 Element ... Read More...
