Perpetual Price Thread

[Aust]

That just a tad below invoice I believe. Also seems after reading the threads here there may be quite a supply of Ridglines just sitting on lots and storage areas. And while I don't know if it's true, I did see a mention of a "holdback" of somewhere of $1000.00??? on one of these threads.

So, get them to go lower

25.3 isn't bad at all; mine was 25642 and that was 440 under invoice. You are at the end of the month, though and that is always good.

Hi Everyone,
I can happily join the ROC for real.
Just picked up my 2007 RTL.
30,056 plus wheel locks. 200 under invoice. I shopped around my area a lot and most managers laughed at that price.
I ended up in Branfon Honda in Brandford, CT.
My salesperson was Jon Walden, a very nice, upfront guy.
So in the end I had a very satisfying experience.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Goodmorning,
I was wondering if your RTL was with or without Nav?

Thanks and Happy After Thanksgiving Day

Without Nav.
The Nav costs about 3 grand more.
I figured it would be easier to get a portable Nav, that I could use in my other car too.
But the voice activated function seems neat.
And really, really wish the regular RTL had a standard audio jack for my non iPod Mp3 player. Even the Element has that!

New to this...
Have a quote for a 07 RTL with Nav...OTD..32,915$$
looks good based on all my research...any thoughts would be appreciated as I am off to get it tomorrow..

Thanks and great forum..

Is that with Tax, Lic, regi?

Tax in my neck of the woods is 7.75% which on 30k is about $2250
Lic is approx $200 +
Regi is $139.00

Edmunds invoice says $30,532
Kelly BB invoice says $31,458


Edmunds invoice + fees otd = $33,237.23
Kelly BB invoice + fees otd = $34,234.99

If you read some other posts you will see mention of a long supply on hand for Honda dealers = good for you to neg. more off

Also you are near end of month = good for you to neg more off

and if this is right? there's a holdback on the Ridgeline = good for you to neg more off.


But even if you did nothing, looks like you already getting atleast a few hundred off invoice.

[Ross]

That is final price....with TTL
also what is "holdback"???

thanks for getting back to me quickly

Hi Ross,

As I understand it a "holdback" is an amount of money that the manufacturer gives the dealer for just selling the vehicle. That arrangement between the manufacturer and dealers is not advertised anywhere. Also the amount varies between 0 and ???.

If you know the amount of a holdback, you can then hopefully not only try to get invoice price but cut alittle into the holdback as well.

Good luck on your purchase. I love my Big Blue, and I think you will be very happy with your new Ridgeline.

We all will be looking forward to seeing some pics of your new RTL

Thank you everyone for your help. I am no longer a RL wanna be. My wife and I drove 2.5 hours each way to get to a dealer with the lowest price down in Northern IL.

We picked up a 2007 RTS, Nimbus Gray, before TTL at $26,800. No options, will do those later. It had only been on the lot 3 days.

Have a great one and once again thanks for all the help.
