Been working a deal on a new 09 E with a dealer. I am needing to wait for the Cash for Clunkers program. Just got an email from him and here is what it says.
"I just got some bad news from Honda. There will be no Honda Element incentives from tomorrow through the end of August.
We have $1,000 dealer cash today only. Odysseys, Pilots, Ridgelines, Elements, and Fits will not have any incentives until September 1st."
What is Honda thinking?:-x Sales are down 35% year to date on trucks and they offer nothing? If you ask me this will put Honda dealers at a major disadvantage and is a total blunder on Honda's part. they are just trying to use the government incentive instead of offering their own. To bad this program is so small and without incentive that most other manufactures are offering I would think Honda will loose some of it's share of this program.
Oh well I guess thats why those executives get the big bucks
