I used the internet department at Jim White Honda in Maumee, OH and got $1200 off MSRP with no trouble. They had a limited supply but he told me that the price was good on any of them instock and on order. I thought he would try to jack me on the mud guards that were added to all of them but he just threw them in. I tried the same dealer a couple of weeks ago but I didn't use the Internet department first and got the run around from the saleman and no discount. I bought on Tuesday, red RTL.

Congrats on your new truck,
 
A lil patience that pay off $1200, not bad at all.Any reactions from those who bought at MSRP?
 
Ridgeline deals are getting better everyday.My outrageous but very possible prediction; $2000 under msrp before March ends. I could be wrong, $2500 maybe?
 
P.S.
 
A co-worker got his blue metallic RTS from the Virginia delear $1500 under msrp.They do try to jack up the price of the options such that he only added wheelocks/mudguards and will get the options elsewhere.Patience is indeed not only a virtue but saves you a whole lot of dough.

When your spending 33,000 saving 1 to 2000 dollars is hardly significant, at least to me. I paid cash. I saved thousands on interest. They're moving them off the lot as fast as they get them in. There is no discount now in my area. I got the the color and package I wanted, and I'm driving it NOW.

" Any reactions from those who bought at MSRP? "
 
It's difficult to compare prices paid when in one location, there's competition and Honda dealers are discounting, and in another location cross country those same vehicles sell like hot cakes so dealers aren't discounting them. Just because someone in Orlando for example paid MSRP and someone in Detriot paid $1500, less doesn't mean either one wasn't a good deal.
 
Also, the entire terms of the purchase isn't being posted. They may have taken a killing on their trade or paid some extra dealer fees.

Wow, you must be loaded.
 
I wonder how many people who bought their Ridgelines paid cash too and saved on interest. One in ten or is it one in a hundred.Any other forum members here who think $1000-$2000 is loose change? Whoever you are I envy you coz it takes me around 31.5 hours of hard hardwork to get paid $1000 bucks (gross).To future Ridgeline owners, pls ask yourself how many hours of hardwork does it take you to get you to at least $1000? How about $2000, maybe $3000? If its only a days work, then aint worth waiting for the prices to come down.

When I got my 2003 Honda Pilot, I drove 150 (Ocean City MD) miles x 2 = 300 miles to get a deal $ 600 cheaper than the nearest competetion in MD. For a $3000 price difference I would drive from Orlando to Detroit, or fly then drive back home. I guess my expenses on hotel, gas and time wouldn't breached the $1000 mark.I know not everyone would agree that this cost cutting measure is worth it, but for folks who know the value of money this is a practical move.Or if I hate long drives which I don't I'll just wait for prices to drop as gas prices soar.

I don't think 1,000 is loose change, but when spending 33,000, it just didn't seem that significant. I'm actually very tight fisted with my money. I was driving a 91 2wd Toyota truck for 14 years before I bought the Ridgeline. My son needed a vehicle so I gave it up reluctantly to him. I still love that truck. I never thought I would spend this much cash on a vehicle, but Honda managed to loosen my grip on my money, and that's saying something. I feel it was worth it every time I sit in that nice leather seat and look at the stars through the moonroof listening to classical music on the XM radio.

You are a unique case sir for the ff reasons:
 
1. You needed another vehicle ASAP coz you gave away your means of transportation to your son thus you can't wait for the price of the Ridgeline to go down.
 
2. You are tight fisted with your money, thus you have a whole stash available when you needed it.
 
Buying this truck at msrp is a good thing for someone in your situation, however, for the majority of Ridgeline converts we don't fit the bill. Some don't need those trucks asap, thus can wait till the prices are near invoice and majority can't pay cash in order to offset finance charges.
 
Enjoy your truck, it's the best, its my next truck after my lease on the Frontier ends.Hope I do see a hybrid version near invoice 2 years from now

Hybrids are cool, but I would never own one beyond the warranty period. A repair of the transaxel can run 15,000 on a Prius, and when things go wrong, they really go wrong.

Not that unique. I would guess about a third of my customers pay cash for their cars.
