In the year 2000 I started my wait for my 2003 100th Anniversary Harley Davidson Fat Boy. I took delivery after waiting 2 years and eight months. It was well worth the wait. So far I've been waiting two months for the Elio. I'll wait. My complimentary Harley 100th Anniversary t-shirt was considerably more than my $100 Elio shirt.:cool:

I'll wait. I see this as an opportunity of a life time. There is no law that says most of us can't ride scooters and bilkes for transportation, as do many people on earth.
This will be good for our country.

I will either get one or not, why not wait.
Well, there IS a law that says I can't ride them on the interstate, which is 60 miles of my commute.

Yes there is, what I'm saying is you wouldn't live/work where you do without modern transportation. I might be in the minority here, but I don't think a complete change of life style is impossible, I hope not.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't believe in this country as much as I used to.

The elio will be built, but maybe by another company who buys out Mr. Elio. It is too good of a vehicle not to make it to the public...but at what cost? Basically since January 2013, EM has advertised the $6800 price. Now, it will be 2016 when the elios start rolling. I would think there would be at least a 10% increase in cost of the elio which would put it around $7500, especially if EM says now, they are within $300 of the $6800 price. This would put it at the $9000-$10,000 or more OTD. Would the average price of 10K drive away customers? In our area the chevy spark is advertised at $9999, with 4 wheels and 4 passengers and 40+ mpg. I believe this wwill becme the main issue. I also am worried that some states attorney general will want to review the $6800 price in a bait and switch type advertising...hope that doesn't happen folks.

I hope so. You may notice Elio, meaning Paul Elio has quoted $6800 since 2008 and every few weeks they add something to the standard list, the latest was power steering.The smartest people in here are those who put up a 100 refundable deposit. At this point I'm thinking good luck with getting money back deposited in either category.Here is a challenge , maybe someone who has a refundable should ask for a refund just to see what happens.

You are doing better than I, I NEVER got a T-shirt, or a bumper sticker, Or a pat-on-the-back. Just an issued number e-mail. Guess that's what is most important.

Just go away Debbie, Monty, 3card, or who ever you will be posing as next. Ask for your refund, pout in a corner, call uncle M (your alternate personality) and do as you like. Stop telling everyone what to do and pissing on the parade. I can't believe I or Anyone even spends time debating with you?? You are the definition of internet bully, keyboard commando, and a generally sad person. I wish you well in life and hope Someday you find happiness. Hopefully somewhere else torturing people down to your level and negativity. Just go away, you have no value here.
All you have to do is stay out of my conversations with others. You also have the ignore choice.
