Queen of the Road: Hi there! Welcome to AutoBragBlog. For a 2006 Honda Ridgeline 4WD V6 Crew Cab RTL with 43,000 miles, prices range from $18,300 (being in above average condition) to $16,350 (being in average condition) and $14,500 (being in below average condition).
Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $16,100 to $20,200. $19,000 is so-so. I wouldn’t consider it a deal. Since trucks and SUVs are a headache to get off the lots, you should have an advantage over the dealership. No one wants to buy trucks/SUVs with gas prices soaring and everyone is trying to sell their trucks. I wouldn’t bother with dealers.
Have you tried looking for private sellers? You’re more likely to get better deals with them since they’re eager to get rid of their gas guzzlers and trying to downsize to fuel efficient cars. Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!
