#21 of 796 Invoice For Ridgeline ? by chuck999 Mar 14, 2005 (2:40 pm)
Does the mighty forum moderator have any information as to when Edmunds might be posting the Ridgeline invoice prices ???   (Not that I expect that any dealers will sell at invoice for a while ...... but would be nice to have some kind of benchmark ....)

Replying to: tyresmoker (Mar 10, 2005 4:57 am) "...but anyone wonder what Honda got in return for supplying GM with 50,000 3.5L V6's for the Saturn Vue??...Nothing.. "   Honda made this deal to get a diesel engine from GM for use in the European market, and I am pretty sure they got their diesel engine out of the deal...

Replying to: chuck999 (Mar 14, 2005 2:40 pm) Check out carsdirect.com this web site shows the invoice of the Ridgeline. I am in MD. A honda dealer in MD is willing to sell me a Ridgeline RT-L with bed extender, moonroof and running boards out the door for $34,000. Not sure if this is a good price? Let me know if this is a good deal.
#24 of 796 Prices in Woodbridge, VA by ddwmew Mar 15, 2005 (8:22 pm)
I visited the local dealer in Woodbridge, VA to see the Ridgeline. The dealer had already marked the vehicles for $1500 over MSRP. I don't know if they sold but it was enougnh for to me to hit the front door

Replying to: nwlily36 (Mar 12, 2005 10:17 pm) I am picking up a black RTS on friday. Dealer had all models except RT. Truck rides nice and comes will everything. Asked dealer about premiums and he laughed, sticker is the highest amount they would charge. I was going to get a Tacoma but the full time 4 wheel drive, VSC, and in bed trunk did me in. Truck looks much better in person than in photos.

Our pricing team may have an idea about when it will arrive, and you can contact them using the "help" link near the top of this page. Once you get there, select the "contact us" tab. Sending your question using this link will get your question directly to the desk of someone who can provide an answer.
#27 of 796 I Take Delivery this Saturday by carbuyer11 Mar 16, 2005 (8:02 pm)
A silver Ridgeline RTL with moonroof joins my family this Saturday, March 19th. I am purchasing from Mechanicsville Honda in Central Virginia. This is a dealer that is not playing above-MSRP pricing games. Of course, no discount on this brand new vehicle but I was ready to spend $40K on an aging '05 Acura MDX. Instead, I saved $5K by going with the Ridge. I am adding the following accessories to my truck:    Front Air Deflector, Day/Night Mirror, Rear Splash Guards, Running Boards, Carpeted Mats and Foglights.   The dealer worked with me a little on the accessories. Total cost of the accessories will be $1860 (including installation), making the total purchase price a little of $35K. I could have saved a little by ordering on the web but elected to go with the convenience of dealer-stocked accessories.   I think I'm the typical Ridge buyer, having never owned a truck before. I love the convenience of the truck amenities without feeling like I'm losing the creature comforts of an SUV. Another Ridge purchaser at the dealership had the perfect description for this vehicle: "it's an SUV with a hole in the back". I think Honda did a great job designing this truck. It's obviously not for everybody (Honda never intended it to be) but it does offer a lot in the way of comfort, convenience/safety features and versatility. I'm sure it will serve me well on the weekend trips to Lowe's and the garden shops. Since I don't intend on ever owning a boat, I couldn't care less about all of the silly controversy that is already brewing about the Ridge's towing capacity. All prospective light duty truck purchasers should certainly give the Ridgeline some serious thought before deciding on a more "traditional" pickup. I've seen the future and it is spelled R-I-D-G-E-L-I-N-E.
#28 of 796 Just bought my RT-L/moonroof by gearhead1 Mar 17, 2005 (1:26 am)
Well, I finally got it. I didn't think I'd like the steel Blue color, but in person I love it. Pictures don't do it justice. I paid MSRP. I didn't even bother trying to get them lower. They just got it today, and sold the other 3 they got in previously in the first few days they had them. I don't think they'll sustain that sales rate, but right now they're pretty proud of them and justifiably so. I wrote them a check so I figured I saved a bunch anyway just with interest.   Previously, I test drove a white RT-L and it had that intermittent whistling sound around the wind shield. The Steel blue I bought doesn't have this. It's very quiet. I mean you can hear wind, but it's not what I would call anything other than normal low wind noise I hear in every car at highway speeds.   I've put a 180 miles on it so far. This has been described as a Gentlemen's truck, and that sums it up best to me. I feel like I'm surrounded by class when I'm sitting in it. The leather I feel is first rate. I've sat in H2s and I feel the Ridgeline's interior surpasses the H2 as well as the 05 Tacoma. The controversial door handles also seem appropriate in this design. My wife says the seat warmer warmed her seat nicely. We also love the dual climate control. The wife also loves the moon roof. This truck, if I can use that crass term, elegantly fuses the the ride and refinement of a nice sedan with the ruggedness of a truck. My biggest problem is that I feel this truck is to nice for me. This is a problem I think I can over come.   We live in a Hilly region of SW Utah, and the RL handled these grades with ease. Many times I looked at the speedo and noticed I was going 95 mph without realizing it. I'm really going to have to watch the speedo in this truck. I'll be stunned if this doesn't take Motor Trend's truck of the year in 06. I'll be taking it off road in sandy conditions shortly. I'll post more then.
#29 of 796 Re: Prices in Woodbridge by ronaldp Mar 18, 2005 (6:56 am)
Visited the same Woodbridge VA dealer. They quickly knocked off the $1,500 markup with little effort. However, all their Ridgelines had dealer add-ons like mud flaps, pinstriping, wheel locks, etc. that added $1,200 to the price and they weren't willing to budge on that, so that's where they make their markup.
#30 of 796 Pricing by bull77ock Mar 18, 2005 (5:25 pm)
I went to two local Honda guys and finally got one to go $1000 below msrp and give me free paint protection, rust proofing and fabric guard. Should I take it or wait a few months? I am also still considering the Nissan Frontier LE. Better value but I like the Ridgeline a little better. But I won't pay $4,000 more just to buy a Honda.
