Re: South Florida 2011/2012 RTL w/Navigation [nj550i]
Edmunds.com here has a section that will give the MSRP and 'Invoice' amount for any autos. At this time, they may still have both 2011 and 2012 sections up. If not, if you can look at the sticker for both a 2011 and 2012, pull a few numbers. Pull the 'base' vehicle price. Then if there are Factory accessories, pull one of these. There is almost always only two percentages of ... Read More

Re: contemplating an RL after being burned by my MDX [madmommy3]
As I recall, the transmissions used in the Ridgeline starting in 2006 were the first "new" 5-speed transmissions used by Honda since they had all their transmission problems in most of their vehicles--like the problems you have had with your MDX. The same transmission has been used in the Odyssey since 2008. We just picked up a new 2010 RL RTL to replace our 2008 RL RTS. It turns out that ... Read More

Re: Honda Problem# 5 After owning a 2006 ridgeline since new! [hairball]
Quite frankly, I could have an AM noise problem, since I very seldom use anything other than FM or CD. And if AM, it's a local station with a signal so strong it would overpower all but the loudest noise.

Re: Honda Problem# 5 After owning a 2006 ridgeline since new! [flyup]
You, and I, bought the first model year of a vehicle. The first year almost always has more 'startup' problems. Yes, radio noise on early models is a known problem. Yes, strut problems is a known problem also. I do think Honda didn't do good design work on the struts and should step up and help owners on these problems. I've not looked back at post 380, but vaguely remember it. ... Read More

Re: 2006 Ridgeline RTL [jplyman]
Boy. I have no Idea if taxes tag and title in GA is $300 or $2000. See what kbb.com says your element is worth. (I'm guessing you are about $1000 underwater in the element) See what a 06 RTL with 37000 is worth (trade in value) probably around 18000. Personally, I would prefer to fish for a purchase price around 18000, as they may well have paid considerably less. Good luck ... Read More

Similar Lease Buyout Situation
I am in a similar Lease Buyout situation for my 2006 Ridgeline RT. My lease is up in April 2009 and the buyout is $15830. The curent retail value puts it anywhere between 11,800 and 13,800. Getting a break on the buyout price would be a bonus. Has anyone here on-line been successful in a Honda Lease Buyout negotiation? Any viable input would be greatly appreciated.

Any thoughts?
I'm 6 mos away from my lease return on a 2006 Ridgeline with leather/navigation. I owe 20,000 on return in June. I actually really like it. Do you think that Honda will give me a deal on buying it since I doubt they want vehicles sitting on their lots these days? Also, should I deal with them early? Thanks.

Re: 2009 Honda Ridgeline Adds Power, New Look and More Standard Equipment [aspesisteve]
Ohhhhh, I agree about the rear seat. I rode for some hours in the back seat of our 2006. The bottom of the seat is ok, but the back is somewhat hard. Worse, it is too straight up. If it would only be reclined more, it would be much more comfortable. With the seat back not movable, I would think it could have more of a recline. It might reduce the ... Read More

Re: Turbo-diesel please. [fenris2]
Recently I checked the gasoline mileage on my 2006 Honda Pilot and on a 100 mile trip (80/20 hwy/city) I averaged 31.5 mpg. The Pilot is 2wd with the variable cylinder management system. Why has Honda not used this system in the Ridgeline? It is supposed to yield a 15% increase in mpg. Just curious.

Re: 1st time Honda Owner [frankc55]
What is the milage on your Ridgeline? If it has some miles on it, remember, it's a truck. It rides somewhat rough over the rough roads, andd this is going to generate more rattles that a sedan with soft suspension. My 2006 with 16,000 miles has developed it's first rattle (except see below) somewhere on the right passenger side. Overall I'm happy with it. Ridgelines, at least those of my model, ... Read More

American Honda has set another record month in sales for April, making this the fourth consecutive record month in company history. This record was led by its light truck sales, inlcuding the Odyssey, CR-V, Pilot, and Ridgeline Pickup, which all set individual monthly sales records.

Re: 2006 Ridgeline A/T Lease for $219 [europ91]
Europ91, Honda now has a 2WD Pilot, but there is no 2WD Ridgeline. Perhaps oldjoe is mixing these two trucks up. By "TV lease" I suspect that he meant that he saw a television advertisement that mentioned a lease payment. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Re: 2006 Ridgeline Demo pricing? [vince311]
Hi Vince311, the dealers are selling all the Ridgelines at invoice and less. It depends on the build date and time on the lot. Honda has a dealer incentive of $1000.00, but only to the dealer. They will not tell you this, hoping to get the most money out of you. So if you can get them to lower the invoice price at $1000 or close to it, you have got ... Read More

Re: Honda Ridgeline Lease Numbers [1bigdawgfan]
Yes, 1bigdawgfan, Honda Finance's residual values for the Ridgeline vary by model. The .00040 money factor that you have seen is correct for a 2006 Ridgeline leased through Honda Finance in November for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier and pay a security deposit. The dealer that you spoke with quoted you the correct factor for a Ridgeline leased right now with the security deposit waived. Car_man Host Smart ... Read More
