Who said anything about driving 80 mph for 2.5 days? Sheesh. Charleston is a one day drive from Danville, WV. If you are driving 80 mph for 2.5 days to do that you are really doing it wrong. I bought a Corvette in New Orleans 21 years ago and drove it home to Chicago, varying my speeds over 2 days (it is a seriously longer distance than WV to SC) and adhering to Chevy's break-in guidance and it still runs great today. Oh yeah, and it's my track car at Road America so that motor gets ridden hard and put away wet.I hear ya. I'm not flying anywhere for getting a car. I'm not paying anyone to ship a site unseen vehicle, that I'm paying $40k for. I also would never, ever think that driving a...0 mileage vehicle across the country right off that bat, is a long term good idea. Have at it bud. There is not a gas combustion engine that does not have a break in period. And driving across the country at 80mph for 2.5 days is not it. If I can get a local/legit warranty on power train vs. saving a couple grand... F a couple grand, especially with a forced injection motor that...who knows...could have problems...and would be nice to have that. I think the motor/turbo is the only real concern for me, and I want a 'you are paying for that, not me' situation with this compared to a few dollars a month. But that is me
Like I said at the beginning of my post - your logic is sound and it's your call. I was only pointing out that your statement that it's only $1K is wrong. And that's fine, for you. For those of us that don't light up our Arturo Fuente Opus X's with hundred dollar bills dipped in Johnny Walker Blue - it makes a difference.
