His response: "You shouldn't need to go farther than 50 miles, I found our HHR within a 50 mile radius of our house" ...lol.

I found the right Z 1300 miles away.

I flew out to see it...

Bought it...

Drove it back 22 hours.

900 miles each way for me to pick up my 40th Anniversary. Cinti, OH to Deland, Florida. Nothing local and not a bad deal in FL.

Just have it shipped to you

um about 40-50 miles? dealership a 15-20 minute drive from my place.

They are the only one selling the GT-R and apparently every other dealership has to get Zs from them so yeah.

6 years of wanting a 350z followed by about 18 months of trying to decide if I should just spend the extra and go for the 370. All the while paying off over 50k in student loans.
When I decided to buy, and after my student loan was paid off, I found a good deal on a car in Connecticut. Bought it and drove back to Indiana the next day.
Good thing I used to live in Connecticut. Had a friend pick me up at the airport and drive me the 50 miles to the dealer.

About .2 miles from my office to pick it up.

wilsonp · 03-03-2011, 05:32 PM

About 110 miles round trip, but 96 was the wasted trip to a dealer that didn't want to quote a trade on my NSX after saying they would.

Then pretty much the car I wanted showed up used a couple of weeks later at the local dealer

elmz · 03-03-2011, 05:34 PM

I ventured 1.5 hours for mine.

b1adesofcha0s · 03-03-2011, 05:37 PM

150 miles each way in the snow from MD to PA. Took about 3 hrs each way.

zmyride · 03-03-2011, 06:30 PM

I went to heaven and the Z found me there.

Baer383 · 03-03-2011, 06:38 PM

Went to the dealer in Atlanta and he went and picked it up in North Carolina,picked it up 2 days later.

Yup, pretty much the same waiting period here, then drove 15 km (fortunately close by) out of the city to try a relatively new dealership which I heard had a reputation for great customer service (Sherwood Nissan...which happens to be Canada's number one volume dealer 6 out of 6 years it's been in business...free plug BTW) instead of a closer dealership that I had dealt with for 12 years prior, and referred many people to. Happy I did. My 40th happened to be the first one that they brought in, and was the first one sold in the Edmonton area...I guess my timing was perfect on that one.

I shopped and test drove at dealers 2-1/2 hours from my home, but I was in the D.C. area on business, anyway.
Ended up finding the one I wanted about 45 minutes away.

From Germantown, MD to Murfreesboro, TN, with an overnight stop in Cincinnati. About 800mi each way.
