I wonder if that is the production limit due to factory constraints? If so, based on the early sales, they might be like hen's teeth by the end of the year, especially after all the good reviews the RL is getting.the 2017 Honda Ridgeline will be limited production, only 40,000 total will be produced.
Yea, my reply to him was:I wonder if that is the production limit due to factory constraints? If so, based on the early sales, they might me like hen's teeth by the end of the year, especially after all the good reviews the RL is getting.
Then, again, it was a car salesman telling you this...:laugh:
$100 says it's the cheapest window tint around and not worth 2 ****s. You want ceramic. For me if the dealer told me $300 extra because of tint I'd tell them to remove it.Yea, my reply to him was:
Thanks, but no thanks. I will not pay MSRP, and definitely not over for any vehicle, so if I end up being customer 40,001, I guess I won´t get a Ridgeline. I can get one without 300 dollar tint or any extras. Thank you for your time.
So, he will either quit e-mailing me or he will come back with some sort of offer. We shall see.
It's funny to read that line. Back in 2007, a Toyota dealership said something similar to me regarding the FJ Cruiser. He said the FJ is a limited run vehicle for only 2 years...it ran from 2006-2014. It was amusing how confident he was with that statement.the 2017 Honda Ridgeline will be limited production, only 40,000 total will be produced.
Try Jack O' Diamonds in Tyler, TX or Loving in Lufkin, TX. I've had surprisingly awesome experiences with both in the last two months. Holmes in Shreveport, LA isn't too bad. I seem to have the better success with older or smaller dealers lately.This is too funny. I just got an e-mail back from a dealer in Texas that I e-mailed and this was his respone:
Sir, thank you for responding. The price quoted was our asking price for the Ridgeline. The $300 over MSRP is because the vehicle has been tinted. I do not want to miss your business. Please send me a copy of the purchase agreement provided by them, every deal I have seen from any other dealer is selling the trucks for at least $1,000 over sticker price. Reason for the purchase agreement is to get an itemized price, to make sure you aren't paying a market adjustment or over paying for any dealer added accessories or paying for a dealer prep fee. I will see what I can do to make you a deal.

Unlike Holmes Honda, we have a FREE Lifetime Powertrain Warranty that will come with the purchase. It is a simple, cut and dry. Just make sure the service/maintenance is done by a place of business and keep the receipts if you do not use Honda. Coverage is any where in the continental U.S. , Hawaii and Canada. I am attaching the contract for your review. There is nothing special to it and it FREE.
Maybe I should direct him to this dealer and say, Now what were you saying about MSRP?
That's California though, and how they like to do it out there. I've seen Cali dealerships of many mfr's pull the same crap. New to market vehicle with any serious demand = attempted rape by them. Keep walking and know it will be 6 months for the stealer to turn into a dealer. If they don't "deal" then they are just stealing for a living. MSRP is as HIGH as it should ever be, anywhere.Just at a Honda dealer in Corona,CA. They had a RTL-T at $50,000. Besides the usual overpriced accessories they had a $8000 Market Conditions markup!!! I just turned around and walked off. Told them I wasn't going to deal with all the accessory bull crap. They told me everyone was doing it.
I won´t say which one this was from, but it is one of those you mentioned. I will probably actually end up going through Holmes Honda since it is closer to me and we bought our Odyssey through them.Try Jack O' Diamonds in Tyler, TX or Loving in Lufkin, TX. I've had surprisingly awesome experiences with both in the last two months. Holmes in Shreveport, LA isn't too bad. Avoid Tower Honda in Longview, Texas at all costs. I seem to have the better success with older or smaller dealers lately.
And I thought Valley Hi, in Victorville, CA was bad with their "HIGH DESERT PROTECTION PACKAGE", but it's a pile of accessories worth maybe $500 for like $1500. That's insane, down in Corona, CA, maybe an hr south of meJust at a Honda dealer in Corona,CA. They had a RTL-T at $50,000.
