Hoping someone here can help. I'm in Northern California and have been having a tough time finding my 1st Element. I've done my research and have settled on:
Silver
EX
2WD (may consider 4WD)
Navigation
Automatic
I've found a dealer in the area that quoted me a price I'm comfortable with, but now that I'm pushing for the exact color and configuration he's dragging his feet. I've checked with other dealers in the area and they assure me that I simply can't get a silver EX with navi anywhere. I assume they must be exaggerating but all of my web searches have been have come up empty (largely because no listings reference navi). The dealers have attributed the shortage to reduced production and the late stage of the model year. Sadly, I'm not really interested in waiting until the fall to get a 2010.
I'm not even that interested in having navigation (though I'm sure I'll like it being there), but I do like the iPod integration and freeing up the AUX jack for my portable Sirius unit (which I also use in home and garage). If you have any suggestions of after-market solutions please feel free to suggest those too.
I've seen some posts that reference non-local dealers that will drop-ship, but I'm having a hard time finding the specific posts referencing them.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ryan
