Did You Buy More, Same, Less Than Your Pledge Amount?

More. reserved $10,000 bought $16,000. I really believe the Elio will help people. To Mr. Elio's point about the cost of ownership or USED cars, I just spent $4,700 on repairs to my 2001 PT Cruiser, 300,000 miles, that I loaned to a Baptist Minister friend. I have question, I did a ACH transaction from my checking account to pay for the shares; but the transaction does not show in my Bank account on-line. I got an email confirming the buy, and it shows in my StartEngine account, but as pending. Verbiage on the site says it can take ten days. But the window closes in 7. Anyone have a similar experience?

As I read it, and from what my bank says, they will pull the money after "you' clear as being able to afford it.
This has the dual advantage of no one "paying" a lot of money, only to have it put back later, due to over selling the shares.

Got my 50! Was considering buying $1000, but had to go with the minimum for now. If for some reason they haven't sold all the shares by the end of December, I might buy more to help reach the max they are looking to raise.

Welcome to the forum, TMOSteel! Kind of like an old saying. If you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.

Thank man, wish I could buy more but its just not in the cards right now. Received notice this morning that "Fundamerica" withdrew the funds from my checking account, so at least I'm in for my 250 shares, which is better than nothing.

Ended up going less than my pledge. But still, we went for it.

I actually bought 50% less shares. The way the wording was, It sounded like I would only get a percentage of my order, so I cut back.
May buy more if more are available after the cut off.

I reserved $5000 which turned out to be 416 shares so I rounded down to an even 400 shares ($4800)

Great minds think alike!

I have a funny way of looking at this...

When l started this amazing project, I set my limit to $10,000 dollars that I was willing to spend on getting a new vehicle.

I know, the Elio will pay for it self, over the years that I am going drive it... low cost in fuel, parts, and Insurance, plus a big saving in traveling anywhere...

I have now spent $1,000 down... and $1,500 for shares in the Company... So that leaves $7,500 left for me to spend on my New Elio.... and it comes with $800 worth of free upgrades from Elio Motors, plus the 125 shares in the Company...

I am hoping to stick to my limit, but I have to add everything up ( a new dash is on my list, the steel boobs are so ugly in P5 ) and see what happens... I would never be able to get a New Car for under $10,000.

This is the first time I have ever owned shares in any Company, which is going to go World wide in a few years...

Just sounds like a good deal to me...
