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?

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 --jjf

Replying to: jfritsch (May 19, 2007 9:53 pm) 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.

Replying to: aspesisteve (May 20, 2007 2:17 pm) The transmission cooler kit is for the Pilot trailering kit, which you may be thinking of. This is why the pilot hitch and harness runs $1200 on a good day. The 0% may be worth about $1500-2000 to you, compared to 7%.

There hasn't been a post for over 1 month, so I guess hardly anyone's buying (gas prices and all). I picked up a black RTS yesterday. $24,907 including destination $65 to transfer plates $259 doc fee (ridiculous but they wouldn't negotiate) I live in MA, so I had to pay a 5% sales tax. All in all I feel pretty good about the deal.
