Price sounds pretty fair. If you were to get it for $21,000, that would be a total score. As it is, I think you have a firm stand-up double. As long as you're happy with your purchase, that's all that matters. Now how about some pics?

Just ensure to follow the maintenance schedule. If you don't have much or any maintenance history on the truck, I'd start by doing the missing services that should have been due by now such as transmission fluid, rear diff VTM-4 fluid, front transfer case gear lube and brake fluid. Brake fluid should be flushed every three years regardless of mileage, so you're probably at that point now. The fluid maintenance on these trucks is VERY easy and can be done with simple hand tools and with the truck sitting on the ground (minus the brake fluid service as you have take off the wheels). Ensure you only use Honda genuine fluids for everything except engine oil and transfer case gear lube. The truck was designed to run with these fluids' specific additive package and viscosity. Many will swear by some "universal" fluids, but it truly doesn't make sense to use anything else. If there is anything else you need to know, I guarantee it's likely already been covered. A quick search will probably bring up your answer. If not, ask and ye shall be answered.

I did a quick search in my area of 2011-2012 RTL's with 55-70k miles. There are five results that have asking prices of $23,900 to $26,000. The one in particular is a 2012 RTL in black with 59,370 miles listed for $24,360 that is nearly identical to the OP's new truck. So yes, I think $22,900 is a good deal depending on what the original asking price was. When I said "fair" in my previous post, it wasn't meaning "fair" as in "less than good". I meant "fair" as in "fair for the OP and fair for the dealership selling the vehicle." He got a good price that works for his budget and the dealership probably made $1000 or so. So like I said, $21,000 would be a crazy good deal, but you did pretty darn good at $22,900 in my opinion.
