It occurred to me that I should open a new thread, are there any other E owners on the front range viewing this site? If so let us know...

MT to the E 'cause it be real cool

I'm seriously addicted to all online information on the Element. I can't wait for my E, which will be here sometime in late May or June. I have only seen one E in my area, parked at a grocery store, but the dealers say they can't keep 'em on the lots. How many other Front rangers do we have here>?

Got lucky I guess...walked in to look around at Mile High Honda a month ago and drove out in a Blue EX 4x4.

Couple weeks going for a Green....hope they have one!

We did not have a good experience with Mile High like we did with Schomp, but because they did not have GG or SM in 2wd EX so we went with Elway. Paid $18,600+tax ( no handling, or anything else), below advertised price. Hassle free ! Highly recommended.

Tonight, Elway Honda came to Monument and delivered a Element EX AT 2WD silver with a security system for 18.5K!

Love it so far, we will see.....

Nice deal !! They wanted another $325 for the alarm system on ours.

Well shucks! We did enjoy our sales rep so much at Mile High that we sent our neighbor for her Honda and then went back for the Green EX 4X4 (picked up last night).

They didn't deal real well but then they seem to be moving the cars fast.

We finally came to an understanding though and we're happy with what we got :)

I guess it depends on which salesman you talk to. One guy looked at my offer from Schomp an told me to go back to Schomp.
I'm glad it worked out for you and your neighbor though...

BTW... got a free Honda cap and 2 movie tickets for test drive at Kuni Honda on Colfax.
X2 sounds good ...

Hi everyone -- I just got my GG EX 4WD a week ago from Schomp and they were great as usual. I always bring in an Eloan loan with me and they always prefer not to use Eloan and give me a lower rate with no hassles.

I downgraded in a sense from a '98 Accord EX V6 with all the bell, whistles, spoiler, etc -- but I love the Element and find that its just a lot more fun to drive. I miss the audio controls on the steering wheel and the V6, but nothing else. My wife and I just wanted something more fun to take out on the town together ... that could also take our 2 girls as well.

I had some reservations about buying this car simply because I know its controversial (you either love or hate it) -- but I could care less what people think ... I love it! I was also a little worried that that the controversial nature of the Element might draw negative attention to it and perhaps even vandalism. I certainly hope not -- maybe the opposite it true -- people who don't like it may think its so ugly that just frown and walk away.

We should have an element get together some time. I see so few around town, its amazing. I love having a unique vehicle which is fun to drive.

I have gotten mostly stares from younger kids (high schoolers) so far. One kid in a Jeep CJ7 just drove by staring at me as he hung out his window and kinda looked confused -- I couldn't tell if he hated or love it -- and who cares!

Owned it for a week now, beginning to like it more and more.
Used it over the weekend to haul landscape stuffs with rear seats removed for additional load weight, looks like it going to hard to put them back in.

I am out south with the Shoreline Mist 4WD EX -- any plans for a meet?

:D

Of course, I'd like to wait until I actually have my EXS SOP AWD 5spd. I should have it by June 24th or so, as it was built between June 2-7 according to Ralph Schomp. I have to say I'm happy with the price RS gave me. 20,100 before accessories and that's with the side airbags.

I'm in Highlands Ranch and I teach in Littleton. Hopefully we'll see you around!

Mark

anybody know anyone that could put together an Element Road Rally?

Might be fun....I don't have a clue where to start though

Yo'Delay to tha Front Range, I drove the E up to Red Rocks last nite for a beautiful full moon show, saw the Beck and a coupla other Exited E owners.

WHERE IT'S AT!

I'm looking to buy an E near the Front Range and the Internet quote (no-haggle price) I got from Elway was sticker + $299 BS fee + $117 for front mud guards (I told them to keep those dealer installed options and they told me they put them on all E's - nice way to rip you off for more money). That's the worst rip-off I've been offered. I told them to keep their E and I would go elsewhere. I will never talk to another John Elway dealer.

Jim

I just bought an EX 4X4 5spd SOP w/side airbags today from Frontier Honda in Longmont, Colorado. I feel like I got a fair price on the Element and a fair price on my trade it. I would recommend them.

My sales team was GLENN *MIYASAKI and MARTY SADLO.

Jim

4wd Auto EX at Mile High Honda....roof rack, all 4 mud guards, rear wind deflector . Got it right around 22,000 with a MSRP of around 23000 and I had to work on it!. Traded a 98 explorer which they gave 6500 for. They mighta come down.

My rep...Roland...great guy....and very knowledgable....

Doug King

We've been driving our Element since mid-April. There isn't anything about it we don't love except that we didn't get ANY of the extras just power windows and it's a 5-speed.
We plan to add everything in as we can afford to which hopefully is by next summer for a/c. We bought it because we love to camp out and it seemed the perfect car for getting us there and enjoying the features the E offers in space!
Glad there are alot of other enthusiastic Element owners out in the land because I barely see 1-3 a day when I'm driving around. I always wave to those drivers so here's my wave to all out in internetland {{{{wave}}}}
z :D

We get a kick out of seeing other Elements as well. We did our part and got two of them :)

Wondering someday if an 'organizer' will get an Element Getogether here on the Front Range....

Looking forward to seeing all on the road.

It's been getting crowded on the roads with Elements and I love it! I know those people are having the same enjoyable ride as I am.

I love the design of the car and the spaciousness compared to our last car. And it's a cinch to put our son into his carseat because I don't have to stoop down onto the seat. One thing is that I wish I could put the carseat in the center of the backseat because we didn't get side impact airbags with our model. Has there been any results of crash tests? When we got our E in April the dealer said the results hadn't been completed. Is there a link to a site which could say anything about tests completed?

"Blue Highways" and I are looking forward to moving to somewhere in the metro Denver area. Small towns are nice but we need the city. Any advice on where to look for a good place to live. I go to Denver quite a bit but do not by any means know the area like a local does. I am a 24 year old single male, that would like to find a community with other people that are cool.

Thanks,
(in advance)
Jesse

Well, to answer your question, there is a varied pick of towns in or near to the Denver Metro area. Boulder and Golden are the best, I think and then there's Nederland, which is a 45 min drive up Canyon (loads of people commute up and down the mountain & there's buses that go up there). It's alot of more hardcore hippy living than Boulder, which is pretty bad in itself, you should know. Anyway, being close to Denver means there is traffic galore but I'm none too sure about what towns towards Denver are like because I lived in Boulder for 10 years. It's fairly expensive (though slowly beginning to improve in the last year or so for rentals) so we've moved to Broomfield and that's as far South as I've ever lived. Boulder is a college town, of course. I've heard that Loveland and Fort Collins are cool places to live, too. They get alot more snow and cold weather than we do though. Man, everywhere in Colorado is cool because you just look at the mountains and love it!! I'm originally from Jersey and I couldn't wait to come West to see the mountains! I've never been the 4 corners area, what's that like? What kind of weather do you get?
Okay, that's a ramble about Colorado and not one word about the E. I saw 4 today on my commute.
Suzanne

Why not Denver proper? I love living in the city, and am glad not to be in the "burbs" anymore. Traffic isnt so bad when you rarely have to get on the highways. And there is so much to see and do in the city, many of it within cycle or walking distance. Denver has many fantastic neighborhoods that really FEEL like neighborhoods.

Just my 2 cents from a Denver resident. :)

Thanks everyone. I was in Denver this weekend, but flew up. I missed my E. I waved at everyone in E's but it just isn't the same when you are in a Mercury Sable Rental Car.

I just wanted to say hello to all...
I just bought my GG 4WD EX on Friday (from Honda of Greely) and am loving it...
I was happy to see that there was a thread for Front Range people on here... (I'm in Fort Collins).
Did you all ever have a meet up?

Hey Neighbor! There are quite a few more Es in the neighborhood now. I've seen two other silvers, a mist, two blacks, a green and an orange. I'm guessing most of them arefrom our part of town. I was able to chat with one of the silver owners for a bit. I'll keep an eye out for you!
