First of all I want to thank you all for the great info., pics, and guidance i have gotten from reading from the forums! Do not own a ridge yet but I am looking to trade in my 02' Ford Sporttrac within the next 10 months or so.
Just a quick question:
My local dealer in VA has a RTL listed for $32,040.00 ,with the 17" wheels and XM radio being the only options ( i would love to add on a roof rack and bed extender to the deal). I know the honda site with the same options prices MSRP out to about $33,000.00. Since the explorer was the first car i really have experience haggling with a dealer about i'm wondering the best way to start figuring out where and how to get the best deal on a ridge. End of the month sounds like a promising time. I know some of you have haggled with dealers online pricing them out that way. Anyway, any suggestions on how to start the hunt? Not really looking forward to going into dealers and trying to avoid getting stuck there for hours dealin with a sales rep.
Thanks for any help, and great site, hope to officially be a "member" in a few months!
