Replying to: ida4128 (Sep 10, 2008 8:20 am) You seem very eager to get a 2009, but don't you believe that the pricing will not be in your favor, since the 2009 truck is a rare commodity right now? I'm also going to purchase a 2009 RTL, but I expect to wait until close to the winter holidays for better pricing. |

Replying to: mplshondadlr (Sep 10, 2008 7:35 am) I was responding to ida4128 who said "If you can, please educate us on why American Honda would advise the 2009 RTL release is delayed and there is no set date for the release, yet you just took delivery on some. I called American Honda via their 800 number on Monday (9/8) and was told that. I have been told a number of different stories from local dealers and I do not know what to believe." I obviously was giving my opinion about why 'a number of different stories from local dealer' would be given out. They probably have 2008 vehicles in current inventory and want to sell them. You know, auto salesmen have been known to give mis-directing stories to potential customers. Having never discussed anything directly with you, I am making no specific statement about anything you say or write.

Replying to: mplshondadlr (Sep 11, 2008 9:09 am) i believe you've been a "straight shooter" on the board, but with that said, surely you could see salesmen on other lots telling people false information either deliberately or out of ignorance....can't you? i can imagine some sales managers keeping their sales people in the dark if they're sitting on too many '08 Ridgelines. You wouldn't want them to be talking about the '09's with prospects when they need to unload the '08's. It's a dumb way of doing business, but that goes with the territory. I used to do advertising with car dealerships in the 80's. somehow I don't think alot has changed since then |

There are only 18 2008 Ridgelines left in the state on Minnesota. Mostly RTL and RTL navi.

Replying to: mplshondadlr (Sep 15, 2008 11:01 am) I would think these dealers would be longing for the 2009's to show up. Especially since this is a northern state, and winter's a-coming.
