I take my "X" to Huber Cadillac in Omaha, on Dodge St. I can't complain about them, seems they get it fixed, but I haven't had to many problems with my car. You know.... I've never asked them if they're certified XLR tech's, (?).

I just purchased my baby in FL on Saturday and drove her home to SC Sunday. A little over 550 miles. Looks like you have twice the distance so the equals twice the fun in my book . It's a no brainer to me. It's a great way to see how she rides and if there is anything you want to address in the near future.

I know but my schedule the next couple of weeks is booked.

That's what I'm talking about . Depending on what time your flight gets in, the dealership should be able to pick you up. The dealership I bought my car from knew we were flying in from out of state and offered. Our flight landed at midnight so it didn't work out for us. Good luck and enjoy the ride, remember top down is the way to go. Oh and if your balding on top like I am, a hat is in order.. Lol

That's exactly what I had done. After long talks on the phone with the salesman. Pictures of basically every square inch of the car. That Thursday the wife and I flew out to Seattle Washington dec 17th not even thinking of the drive back. I asked the salesman to pick us up and they did. But it was only half hour away. Checked over the car which they had shined up,made sure everything worked,negotiated, and she was mine.
We had a beautiful four day trip back to Chicago. We were sooooo lucky that year was a mild winter and their was no snow the whole way home. 2600 mile trip on a car that only had 4500 miles on her. I was so excited about going to look,get the car,that weather didn't once go through my headand we got lucky. Not one flake of snow. Every stop we did people were complimenting the car and asking about it and I was still in shock that my 48 hr notice/planning all came together and I was driving this amazing car back across the country home. Good way to learn the manual too. My wife read every page to me on the trip home.
Couple tips
The salesman will think he has you in his hands. Don't let him,nit pick it and point out everything to get the price were your comfortable. Tell him a return flight is cheaper than his wimpy counter offer!
When you lay your eyes on her. Make sure you gain composure before you go to talk price.
Good luck
