Elio Addict
Thanks, slinches, I get the idea now....
My first plan was to get a Elio with a Manual, drive off the lot and come right back and get the $1,200 Automatic put in as a upgrade and then sell the "used" Manual on e-bay, to recover some of the cost of the Automatic...
So I guess that plan doesn't work... with the Transmission exchange deal going on.... But...
I did write Elio Motors about this survey and their reply was... they were not looking at the cost of the Transmissions. because that price is not set yet for them... the survey was about... what percentage of people wanted a Automatic over a Manual Transmission... so they can go to the transmission suppliers and get the best price for both.... they also stated that there were different survey's, sent out to different areas of the "soon" to be Elio Nation...
I guess I just found their wording odd... why not just ask... Automatic or Manual? why ask the different money values, if they only just wanted to know which Transmission you wanted... odd...
Thanks for the feed back...
Proud to Be member #2225Z of the Elio Nation... see ya on the road..
I think I would first look online for that person who wants to trade an AT for a standard. Not a good bet....But...
