Hello All,
My first post and right after joining. I went truck shopping about 3 weeks ago, and about 1 week after trying out a Ridgeline (yes that is backward but I was bored while having my wife's Civic Hybrid serviced). I tried a Colorado, Canyon, Tacoma, and Frontier (yes two of those are the same car, one had leather). And kept coming back to the Ridgeline, took my wife to try the Ridgeline and she liked it also. At first I just wanted the RTS, but when I played with the Nav system and the fact that the full power seats and heat didn't come till the RTL models it sort of swayed me quickly. So now I am on the path to finding a good price. At first the dealer I was working with wanted to sell me a dealer demo for 32878 with Chrome grill, chrome bumper highlights, mudflaps, and foglights. This seemed pretty good, it was $5000 off MSRP but came with the ~6000k miles they had put on it. Today I talked to another dealer over the phone (internet sales) and offered 32850 which is roughly $1000 over Invoice. So now I am at that price and have held the red RTL Nav that they have in stock. What I guess I am asking is if anyone in the MA area knows of a dealer who is willing to go closer to Invoice on an RTL Nav. So far everyone seems reluctant to even talk to me when I mention the 32850 price. I know this isn't going to include any options at all, but I did get a coupon for 20% off on all accessories.
Also is $32850 really that good of a price? I have seen that some people are getting $500 over Invoice with Mud Flaps and such, so maybe I am being too wimpy in my negotiations.
