Flying from NC to TN and driving back 400 miles which will take about 6.5 hours. Less than an hour after I placed a non-refundable deposit down, a dealer less than an hour away matched the TN offer. No regrets, actually looking fwd to the drive back!
I know , right! We flew in to Nashville and drove 732 miles back to Florida....visiting friends along the way. It was fun to take a leisurely drive home plus spent a great day and night on Broadway.

I thought my 400 miles was high but 700+, nice! But visiting friends/family on the way makes that a non issue and a much more memorable first memory with your jeep.

Only thing that gives me a bit of concern is the low speed, rpm variation etc. I have to be aware of for the first few hundred miles which would make my 6.5 hour google maps trip much longer if I take the "scenic" routes and go easy on the engine. we'll see.

I have to travel a quarter of a mile and they offered me 1% below dealer invoice, no doc fees, and no deposit was required. They're giving me $7,000 more than what I purchased my Tacoma for and that will be more by the time my JL is built and finally arrives.. It has been a wonderful process so far.

Just have it shipped. Couple hundred bucks, I had mine shipped from SC to PA. No reason to show up in person if you don't want to.

Couple hundred bucks? Mine was going to cost between $1400 and $1600 to have it shipped from Michigan to Colorado. $200 sounds slightly low.

Agree 100%, if you can't drive the route yourself in just gas cost alone, probably too good to be true. That delivery may not make it to you. Most shipping I see starts at $800-1000. Usually $1.00-$2 something a mile depending if it is covered trailer or not.

Mine was bought at Portland Chrysler/Jeep/Ram, placed on a ship to Maui, I picked it up at the port right off the dock here on Maui, about a 30 minute drive from my house.
Easy stuff

65kms 🤣🙈....

I just went to one of the two dealers in town. I had done a test drive with a 6 speed 2 door, and the guy was literally backseat driving with me by telling me when to shift gears 🤦🏽‍♀️... I went to the other dealer.....

Somewhat related, but not. I’m traveling 2500 miles round trip this weekend to pick up some half doors for the JLU.
