You were pretty close! It's a fuel-pump relay.

2007 RTL for $27,800 with $2,000 Honda incentive by ddowns

Purchased 2007 RTL for $27,800 in Portland Or. Called several dealers with a few willing to quote around $28,000 over the phone for RTL's. My purchase was invoice, minus dealer holdback, minus $2,000 dealer incentive. Dealer incentive on Ridgelines is advertised as good until the end of April. This may be a good time to buy. Looks like Honda is getting a little more aggressive about trying to reach the 50K goal for 2007 Ridgelines.

Where did you find "Dealer holdback,& dealer incentive?" I've had dealer say that they have the incentive, but can't find any of the above printable from the net.
 
Thanks! Looking to buy this week, if I get as good as deal as you.

I think that the holdback is $650 and the incentive is on the net, I have seen it, but cannot recall the site. You may find more info. on the Ridgeline Owners Forum. The dealer offered the holdback amount when I mentioned that it needed to be part of the deal.

Where did you get this information. I'd like to quote the source when I go to the dealer. Thanks.

new vs. used by aspesisteve

I've been watching for a decent deal on a used Ridgeline with little success. With the dealer incentives ($2,500 cash back from the factory), I can't see going used.
 
A 2007 RTX has an MSRP of 28,895; invoice is 26,228 including destination. If I can buy at invoice minus the $2,500 cash incentive (I'll concede the dealer hold back), I'm looking at $23,750 for a new Ridgeline RTX.
 
Anyone think that's unrealistic? Maybe wait till the last day of the month?

Check out my message 14394 in the Accord prices paid section for useful resources on how to buy a car.
 
Get 10-20 bids on an RTX and RTS (with hitch) from dealers within a radius of your home via email and the honda website last week of the month. OTD prices including stated tax, dealer and licence fees. Include your top 3 colors including billet silver, and the fact you are contacting 20 dealers. Give your cell #. See what happens and work the top 2-3 dealers offers against one another last few days of the month.
 
For some reason dealers seem to make better deals on the RTS than the lower models. (it may have a true markup that is higher or the RTX is a lower production vehicle) Don't concede the holdback as you want about 6k off these machines. The trailer hitch is about $500 or so installed.
Mid to high 24s or so is not unrealistic for an RTS with hitch installed. If you are in the stix with not so many dealers within 200mi then you may have to compromise or wait till end of next month. Also get your financing in order as it makes little sense to save $800 on price and to give it away on poor financing.
 
Good luck

jfritsch,
 
I live near many honda dealers (San Jose, Ca area); One dealer near me is advertising 0% interest for 36 months up to $15k financed. I'm not sure if this is a dealer promotion or offered throughout No. Calif.
 
Since the RTS would require a hitch added (for my purposes), wouldn't it need a tranny cooler as well? That package runs about $1,000 if so.
 
In any event, I'm familiar with your strategy and believe it's worth the effort.
