Price You Paid Thread

[Ridgeline4wd_Archive]

For newbies such as myself, this could be a great one-stop source for new shoppers to get a feel for what people paid all consolidated into one thread.

If you would, please add a post with the following information

- Ridgeline Model (RT, RTS, RTL, RTL w/ moonroof, RTL w/ NAV, etc.)
- Price you paid (before tax, tax, title)
- Date you bought it
- Any accessories with the price paid
- Dealer you purchased from
- Dealer City, State.

Thanks!

This is a nice idea - but only real meaningful for those that bought without a trade. Stealers play so many funny numbers on trades to make you THINK you are getting a good allowance, it's hard to get a real apples to apples comparison on the actual cost of the RidgeLine.

:shock:

When you bought it will definitely be a factor, so you might want to add the date you got it. Those of us that bought early paid a premium, I think that's already been established. I also think where you bought could also be a factor, but not by a whole lot.

So, for the record:
RTL w/Leather, Moonroof and Nav. (fully Loaded)
$40,600 was the price on the contract before trade, down, tax, etc.
Roof Rack, Bed Extender, Tow Hitch, Running Boards, Under-seat Tray, Wheel Locks, Hitch Locks, and Rear Mud Flaps.
Took delivery April 3 at Power Honda in Valencia, CA.

Let's see how it turns out. I know if I had waited 3 or 4 months, I would have gotten a better deal. Cest la vie!

I just bought a Ridgeline RTL for $27,800 excluding tax, title, and license. I worked with an internet sales manager. I added the towing package for $695 installed. The date of purchase is 11/30/2005.

As part of the deal I traded in my 2002 Focus LX for $4800. The price is right at or just above blue book value for a trade in.

RTL w/ nav paid 32,500 before tax eat your hearts out :D

High VIN# of 545XX and build date of 10/05. We heard it was the last truck off the delivery truck and didn't want a 'leaker' or early production truck.

I got a sick deal i got my ridgeline rts at the end of october at lundgren honda, they have bottom line pricing wich was 27,200 and there was a 1000 dollar incentive on top of that. Couldn't turn it down

Hello to All, just signed up and this is my first post. My first priority was WHITE. Searched about four different dealers looking for the NAVI... wasn't sure if I wanted/needed it. WOW, nice option. I know it has a bunch of stuff I probably won't use but still a real cool feature. I traded an 03 Accord Coupe (loaded no NAV) it was the Midnight Saphire Blue. Hated the color showed every bit of dirt. My two previous cars were white. White "appears" to always stay clean... it just gets a darker shade of white. Well don't want to ramble on too long here. Thanks for the great site!

Got an rtsYesterday for 2700.00 plus tax & title included fog lights and running boards. not a bad deal I thought

[kahnartist]

December is the BEST month to buy any vehicle for that year (2005/and 06 Ridgeline)...because Dealers want inventory off the lot. I just received an email from a dealer in CA who will sell an RT $2000 BELOW INVOICE!

Who is seriously looking for vehicles now (right during the holidays with gift buying and all???). Really serious buyers who are ready to buy!
Dealers have quotas to make and want to move inventory. Read up on how to negotiate your best deal and have all your paperwork/quotes in hand to deal in December 2005.

Please all do your homework. I posted some good tips on the forum on how to negotiate your best price.

The only thing 'bad' about buying in December (which I did with my 1989 Nissan Maxima), was getting the registration/license bill due right at 'gift buying' time (ouch!).

Yes, I would agree that 2700.00 is an EXCELLENT price for a RTS. $27,000.00 would be pretty darn decent as well!!

:twisted:

[Ridgerider]

Ah yes 27000.00 is what i meant.

[hawkman]

RTL with Navi paid $31,345 in VA. Did the 3 year lease program since the money factor is .00040, which is .99% (<1 percent). I had a boat load of money to put down but instead stuck that into a 4.25% savings account at www.us.hsbc.com.

I paid $30,000 cash out-the-door for a black RTL without NAVI. It works out to be about $27,500 without tax. California is hot to get rid of these trucks with everyone concerned about gas mileage. I heard that there is a $1000 incentive now, so you should probably be able to get it even cheaper than I did.

:) Looks like I'm one of the few who bought the RTS model. It was just the right ammount of features for me. I don't care for sunroofs and I can do without leather and I already have a laptop/GPS combo for navigation. My RTS model also had the backup sensors and running boards which do not come standard on that model. I paid $26,700 before TT&T. Just in the one day that I have had it I am very pleased.
