New Guy Here!

Really wanting a RTS in Nimbus Gray. :) But don;t have it yet..stil haggling with several dealers over my installed options list and the price.......

I have never owned a honda car before but I haveowned:

chevy caprice classic
VW superbeetle
Datsun B210 Wagon
Isuzu I-Mark
VW Fox
Nissan small pick up truck
GMC 1500 EXT cab
Saturn ION 3

(in that order)

SO brand loyalty is not really in my vocabulary. I buy what I like, what I can afford, and what I need... at that moment. Right now I am just loving this Ridgeline.

My buddy a few houses down bought one 30 days ago, and after test driving it, I knew it was high time the economy saturn I bought 3 years ago when my wife went back to school needed to go and I NEED this vehicle. It is PERFECT for my needs. Wife and I like to camp and go hiking, so loading tents and the like won't be a problem, and from what I read about it's off-road capabilities it will be MORE than adequate for my needs..... The realist in me also realizes the majority of time it will be a grocery getter, home depot runner, and commute vehicle. I have no need for any more towing and hauling or any more size...I need comfort my hour long commute in traffic! If I wanted to ride around like the whole world was a rock garden and I was in concstruction (I am not) I would buy another GMC 1500....

Anyway.. I am in the WDC area BTW...

Now if only I can get the dealer on board....

When you do get it you will love it.

Buy it-you will love it!

Good luck with the negotiations. Nimbus gray is a really sharp color.

Thanks folks.

I have to call the dealership tonight, and I am supposed to go down on Saturday.

I am dealing with a dealership 90 minutes away because they have been far more willing to make deals than the dealership that is only 5 miles down the road. Part of it is networking (My buddy bought his from this dealership becuase he is friends with the owner - cross your fingers that friendship transfers to me!) and part of it is becuase it is a much lower volume dealership and they want to move some RL's that have been sitting on the lot for a while.

Anyway, I hope it will be good news.

Good Luck RLHopeful... and welcome to the ROC...
Can't wait to hear that things worked out and read your posts about how much you love this truck!! :D

Thanks Brich. I am a Ma$$hole myself. Born and raised on Crap Cod. I miss Bahstin.... The Black Rose in Quincy Mahket may be the greatest bah ever conceived by man.
