RTS model

My local dealer threw me a lease deal i can't walk away from. Anybody else looking for Ridgeline seen anything better? Dealer has over 40 RTS's/RTL's collecting dust on the lot.

I was ready to start shopping for a 06 Accord when this popped up.
What do you guys think?

Go for a different car/truck.

would have to punch the numbers, but i believe they had them for around 270/mon, 1500 down, 42mon. again, too tired to punch the numbers!

i test drove and liked the ridgeline. when driving them, the lease deal available was more like 300/mon with 3k down plus taxes. instead of going with that, i ended up with a real truck! a dodge 1500 quad cab, 4wd, with a real bed. 1500 down including taxes, title, 205/mon, 36mon. that was a big enough difference to make my decision.....and the dodge has been great so far. actually liked the interior better, and came with power everything, tinted windows, etc. Not stripped. 34k msrp....then tons of employee discounts thrown on. i only get 14mpg. vs the 16 of the ridgeline

Thanks for the replies.

ksdaoski, I hear ya on "too tired to punch #s". I finally had the time to clean out my Outlook Inbox today and came across a Honda Owner's link email that beats my lowest dealer offer...$299/mo @ $0 down same terms. I'm heading to my usual dealer tomorrow with the coupon in hand and an objective mindset.

That's one heck of deal on that Dodge 1500.

I'm on my 6th Honda and i just can't come up with reasons to look elsewhere. 06 Taco was on my short list but one quick test drive and it's Off-road nature really made me realize I didn't really want/need a true "truck".

The local dealer has the RTS's advertised at $249/mth, 36 months, just tax, tag etc due at signing. Not sure what mileage.

Just drove home a Silver RTL w/moonroof for $325/month same terms.

I was about to walk because the Pearl Red wasn't avail and dealer threw in moonroof/mudflaps/underseat storage cabinet for same $ but in Silver.

It really does drive like an Accord. Very un-truckish. Heated leather is a nice feature too.

The questions I have all boil down to what you are trying to accomplish...
- do you want a Ridgeline because you think it is a good deal?
- do you want a Ridgeline because you want a truck?
- do you want a Ridgeline because it is a Honda?

My needs may be completely opposite of yours, I was looking for some serious towing capacity and a good price, this ruled out the Ridgeline and put me into a Titan. If you don't need such a serior truck the Ridgeline might be the perfect thing for ya, only you really know how you intend to use it. In general terms though, the Ridgeline seems rather pricey to me, I bought my Titan, a $30,500 truck for $25,700 factoring in rebates and a killer deal.



I love this beast!

The base Ridgeline was going for a 5 year lease iirc @ 12k a year for $179, cheaper than the payments on my 2001 civic This was in San Diego btw

Now this is outstanding deal and I would jump on this in a second (as long as it is a RTL and gets 12K/year)! The deal you are looking is also great I say go for it!
