Debbie,
Can you contact me on some off-public message on here? I have a couple of questions for you. I'm not sure how to keep my questions off-board, as I don't think mine belong in that realm.
thx-
Russ.
Russ I am not the person to ask. Contacting Elio would be your best choice, If you read through threads you'll find most express an opinion. There are a few KNOW IT ALL PEOPLE who will insert their 2 cents to every post but actual value is much less.

Russ, you can go up to the right hand corner of the forum and click on your inbox. Select start conversation and enter the name of the person you want to contact. No one can access that conversation but the two of you unless you request it. I hope this helps. :) Z
Thx. I saw that but wasn't sure about the visibility of the messages.

Here is my concept of a free Elio. The least amount of miles I drive a week is 400. Multiply that by 52 weeks. That's 20,800 miles per year. Divide that number by the MPG of your present vehicle, for example 30 MPH. Now take that yearly number an divide by 84 MPH.

693 gallons per year on a 30 mph vehicle
247 gallons per year on an 84 mph Elio
------
446 gallons per year on saved gas X $3.30 per gallon (average)= $1471 savings per year.

$6800 Elio cost divided by the average savings per year equals 4.6 years payoff of Elio without spending any more money for gas than I presently use. So every 4.6 years I get a new Elio without spending any more money.

Pretty sweet deal in my book.

No. The MAX amount that you can put down on an Elio is $1000 dollars, and for the next 13 days, you will be credited with a 50% "match" from Elio Motors WHEN the cars become available in the 3rd quarter of 2015.

That 50% match drops to 25% AFTER the next 13 days.
