I fly out for pick up for three reasons:

1. I love the adventure and seeing the country. (Bucket list of driving through parts of all 50 states. Gives me an excuse to see parts I wouldn’t otherwise see)

2. Getting to know the car. During the drive home I will get a feel for what it needs and put a work list together on the way home.

3. I control the total process.

I'm totally with you on all three. I love the adventure too.

I've done the two trips and drive it home thing twice....both successfully. I treated the whole thing including the 1700 mile drive home like a little holiday. I have also traveled 1000 miles a few times and not bought the car.
