Perpetual Price Thread

Got a black 06 RT new for $23,250 plus $1500 for a 7yr, 100K warrenty and got a free towing package and glass etching 'cuz I refused to pay for it! (dealer installed stuff). Then just add 10% for TT&L.

I just picked up a 2007 black RTL (no nav) over the weekend for $29,750 including destination, before tt&l. Got running boards and fogs dealer installed for another $750. I was happy with the deal as it came in $506 under invoice for just the truck.

Purchased date was 11/11/2006.

Just got a quote for a '07 Gray RTL w/Nav, mudflaps, wheel locks, and tow package for $32,553 plus TTL. This was the first dealer I spoke to. Tomorrow I'm going to another dealer to shop it.

I bought my 06 Silver RTL (no nav or sunroof) in Septermber 06 for $25800.
before tax and license:

Included:

Rear Mug Guards
Tow Package, Installed
Low Jack with Early Warning

Just went through paint problems and bad handling from the dealer and I settled for a FREE:

8yr/120K warranty (no deductible)
Honda Black Tube Steps.

Pretty Happy.

Bought a brand new RTX (silver) two weeks ago for 26,600 out the door.

We bought a steel blue 2007 RTX about 2 weeks ago. Paid $25,785 for it. That's with the destination charge. No sales tax here in NH.

It's really interesting (and a little frustrating) for me to see the great pricing people are getting for RTX's (and Ridgelines in general) in the Eastern and Southern US. The story for me so far out here in the Northwest is not as positive.

So far, I've directly contacted more than 20 dealers in Washington and Oregon. In addition, I've been working the online sources (CarsDirect, Costco, Auto Solutions, etc. just to name a few). I haven't received quotes back from everyone yet. However, among the quotes I've seen so far, most are coming in somewhere between $300 to $1000 over invoice (which for an 07 RTX is about $26,100). When you add the 9.1% auto sales tax rate up here, it looks like the best out-the-door price I've been able to uncover so far will be almost $29K -- for an RTX!!!

Oh, well, I'll keep moving forward. Maybe I'll be able to find that one hungry dealer around month-end.....

For those of you who were able to find pricing under invoice -- any special negotating tips you employed that helped get that pricing?

Thanks to everyone for posting your ideas and experiences. It's been a big help to me in my buying process.

Hi there!
I'm new to posting on these forums but I have been scanning them forever. Finally went to Executive Honda in Wallingford, CT. They have an 2006 RTS demo with about 3k mileage that they are offering me for invoice, 27,660.
No add-ons.
Any thoughts?
Is this a good price for a demo?
Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

edited: I originally did not put RTS. Maybe not such a good deal?

I don't think it is a good quote. You should be able to get an unused 06 for less.
Also, check the date code and try to keep your purchase to anything over September 05. My limit was January of 06 and newer.
Be firm on what you want to pay.
Good luck.

Mongo -

Do you have a credit union? My credit union has a program that allows members access to fleet pricing from participating dealerships. I have bought both my recent Hondas this way, and been offered under invoice both times.
