Hi guys and gals,
Noob here looking for a little advice of which dealer in the Denver area you like. I prefer to buy private party but if a dealer has what I want then I will make the deal. I live on the west end of town and have had mixed experiences with Planet Honda. Ralph Schomp comes highly recommended. Basically what I am looking for is an '06 or '07 Ridgeline RT, nothing fancy just need to replace a truck and a car with this purchase, downsizing and all.
Thanks

I purchased a 2009 RT from planet recently for 23,300+dealer handling+TTL, 25,600 OTD... if you're looking for used, there is a RTL lwith 38,000 miles ocally right now on craigs for 21,500 and a local dealer has a RT with 79K for 14,999... something to look into

I saw those two on Craig's list and will check them out, thx. I drove an '06 today and it was nice, felt bigger than I expected but nice ride. It just had a weird buzzing noise coming from where the hood and windshield meet.

I bought my RTL RL from Ralph Schomp here in Denver and they gave me a good price on my trade-in. However, when I bought my wife's Civic a couple of months later, they would not deal. I got the car I wanted at Fisher Honda in Boulder for about $800 less than Ralph Schomp would go.
I live next to Go Honda on 104th Ave and they will meet most anyone's price. The reason I did not buy there is because for some reason I could not see the car (Civic EX-Blue Pearl) I wanted in person for about one week. They said it was in their offsite lot.
It is my impression that the prices are not the lowest at Ralph Schomp, but they are a great dealer otherwise. Buy from a dealer close to you if the terms are right.
My sister also bought from Fisher Honda.
Hope that helps. Any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a PM.

i went into schomp before i bought my truck and the best they could do for me was invoice on a demo car and would not pass along the 3,000 dealer cash. also tried to buy another vehicle from them a couple of months ago with no luck. they have the no haggle price which has always been higher than i could find at other dealers... and they would not budge either... told me that they can sell their cars all day at the price they are offering... this may be so, but they will never get my business or anyone in my family.. i would rather drive an extra 5 miles and save a few grand :D

I went to Burt Kuni. It was the best buying experance I have ever had. 45min on the phone then an hour to drive up to denver 5 hours later I cam home with a certified use 07 RTL w/Navi and only 18K miles for 23K out the door.
