Replying to: jc7098 (Dec 11, 2005 5:58 am) I dropped by the local dealer and was offered 595 per month with 15k miles per year with $1,750 upfront and 635 per month for 18k with $1,750 upfront (upfront money includes first month). The MSRP was $38,119 and the car was only being discounted $500. I probably need the 18k miles per month but paying over $600 per month for a <$40k car seems crazy to me. |

Have anyone in Texas taken delivery of an IS from Wilde of Sarasota? If so, can you tell what the shipping charge to Texas were? Thanks in advance, Tony

Replying to: audball (Dec 11, 2005 12:28 pm) 1-way ticket to Sarasota is almost $300 and you'd get to drive the car all the way back.. i'm not sure what we are going to do, no dealer in Tx that we spoke with will sell under MSRP and will probably have to order.

$650 shipping for my car from Sarasota as quoted by Wilde. I would guess the fee has a flat portion which is adjusted upwards by distance. I can;t believe that none of the dealers in Texas are budging. I had deals set up in Indiana, California, and Florida.... |

Replying to: five0_4tluv (Dec 11, 2005 12:51 pm) As for the fly-and-drive-back option, be sure you factor in incidental costs (gas stops, hotels if you're not driving 24 hours straight, etc.), and PTO you have to take from work etc. Additionally, engine break-in is best performed with *varying* RPMs/load, not constant freeway motoring. Do you want to deal with varying your speed and/or gears all the way back to ensure proper break-in? (I did when I bought my MINI from Dallas, and won't do it again -- just not my cup of tea...) |

Replying to: audball (Dec 11, 2005 9:15 pm) Audball, you mention factoring in the costs, that's a valid point. I was thinking that if I order in the spring, and pick up the car in Sarasota, it might turn out to be a nice short vacation ... Drive around the Tampa area for a few days (nice varying speeds) sightsee, go to the beach, etc. Then enjoy the car on the way back. Probably makes more sense to just have it shipped, but a trip to Florida in the spring sounds like fun too
