Bought my NEW RL last week

Hello Friends,

I bought my 2008 RL (RT) last Wednesday. I looked at Toyota Tundra before deciding to buy my RL. Well, I had been driving a 99 Corolla for 8 years and just bought RL. So, this is a big transition for me. I love driving this truck. Last Friday we had a snow strom (about 6 inches of snow) here in Boston and I left work at 6pm. It was snowing heavily and while everyone was driving on the right lane in 30s, I was flyinig on the left most lane in 50s-60s (of course with a bunch of trucks like mine). Next morning, I was able to back up my RL with (VTM lock on) over about 1/2 foot of snow. No problems. I can only dream of doing that with my corolla.

Things have been going really well so far. I posted an AD on craigslist yesterday to sell my corolla. I posted the AD yesterday afternoon around 1pm - Got an email response at 2.30pm and contacted a buyer around 4pm. I went out at 4.30pm to show my car to the buyer and he handed me cash and bought my car immediately!!!

My question to you guys:

I live in Northern suburbs of Boston. I bought my RT (no accessories) for $21,700/- Is that a good price?

Best regards to everyone here..

Krish

welcome.

I rep for the 802, 603, 508 and 617

$21.7k sounds like a great price to me

Re: Bought my NEW RL last week

Take it easy in the slushy stuff. The Ridgeline can go but it still will have trouble stopping. It's a great vehicle but it can't defy the laws of physics. Every storm I see at least one 4WD vehicle wrecked out. I'd hate to see you wrap it so soon for no good reason.

Welcome aboard and congrats on your new RL! Not a bad price for a Honda, either! Especially a truck!
