My first Saab was from the Dallas area and I drove about 450 miles to pick it up and drove it back. My second Saab was shipped to me from Massachusetts about 2,000 miles away. My third Saab was from Chicago and I flew to pick it up and drove it back about 500 miles. My fourth Saab was shipped to me from Missouri about 600 miles away. My fifth Saab was from the Denver area and I drove about 450 miles to pick it up and towed it back. My current daily driver (new purchase from dealer) is from Colorado and I flew to pick it up and drove it back about 500 miles.
My Sonett was recently sold to a gentleman in Sweden and he had it shipped about 4,000 miles. I've only ever purchased one vehicle locally (about 45 miles away) and may never do it again. Distance is never a hindrance for me in purchasing a vehicle...if I'm going to spend that kind of money, I want to get exactly what I want and probably won't compromise a need or want due to the price of a plane ticket and a little gas. Besides, it confirms everybody's suspicion that I really am nuts. :-) Drive safely and KEEP ON SAABING!!!
