Already have one dealer who will mat a carsdirect.com price of about $32.5K (a bit over $1000 less than invoice), but I think I might be able to do better with a fax/email blast campaign.

Imports are notorious for better inventory control on trucks. (they make fewer, and don't completely depend on them for survival)
A quick lookup on kbb.com may reveal a used 08 ridgeling rtl navi (36000 msrp) with avg miles may have a trade in of 25000 or less. This is what your 09 will be worth in 12 months. $7500 is a lot to eat on a slow moving vehicle 1st year.
The vehicle sold for 5000-6000 off msrp since its intro this time of year. This was during better times. 32000+ you can see is by no means giving it away.
Good luck

Using a "fax/email blast method", I have already seen prices as low as $31.354 locally, and I expect that additional offers will come in under that. I will post the final price and configuration I end up with. The problem right now isn't willing dealers, its finding willing dealers who also happen to have an '09 Ridgeline RTL w/Nav to sell me!

sbernstein,
I too am looking for a Ridgeline in the Seattle area. Not sure if a 08' or 09' yet, but if I may ask, what dealer did you go through for your 09' ?
Thanks

I went for the 2009 due to the changes from the 2008, particularly around bluetooth, MP3, and the backup camera. The interior, I think, is also a little nicer. I ended up at Capital City Honda down in Olympia. I ended up with about $2800 under invoice and the experience in the end was quite good. Email me if you need more info. I know a few other deals who had an '09, so I can share that as well.

I'm in southern PA area, looking for Ridgeling RTL w Navi, got an offer on an '08 w mud flaps as only option for $29,991. Liked the truck, but feel it's too high for '08. Granted it's loaded, but it's not an 09 and they have 5 of these in stock...any consensus on price offer?

I paid a few dollars over $31K for a fully loaded 2009, including mudflaps. From a depreciation standpoint alone, I would think a 2009 is a better deal, particularly when you take the additional features included on the 2009 model. I think they have additional room to deal. Good luck!

I just picked up a 2009 Bali Blue Ridgeline RTL with Navi last night. 30,750+TTF for OTD price of 32,300. NC sales tax is 3%. Invoice plus destination less the 2,500 incentive was 31,400. MSRP was 37,400 which included mud flaps, wheel locks and pinstriping.
