Is it possible to order locally, but take delivery at a remote dealership? Do dealerships cooperate like that? There are plenty of dealerships in Houston, I can get the Tread Lightly discount, then I would like to take a trip down the West Coast, so maybe pickup in Portland, OR?

I’m only traveling an hour, but I’m passing a ton of other dealers. This includes my closest 3 who wouldn’t even consider less than msrp.

Depends on the deal, but I think 500 miles is my limit. Hopefully Dillons comes through with a great one.

Live in CO but moving to Honolulu. Purchased from Kim in Arkansas, shipping to Honolulu for pick up. Does that count for travel for pick up? Only 3,348 miles.

800+ miles from Penn Valley, Ca to Caldwell by way of Yellowstone N.P. and Gardiner, MT. for total of 1200+ miles). Picking up our granite crystal metallic Sahara on Feb.22 . Returning to Gardiner and Yellowstone and hoping to post pictures of the first JL in Yellowstone NP. No dealer in California chooses to compete w/ DennisDillon. Kyle and CJ are great contacts at Dillon's.

There are several dealers close by, but none seemed to have wanted my business. I ended up ordering from a dealer 20 miles away, but I was willing to go much farther.

Hi Bill,
We just moved to Nevada City and also ordered from Dennis Dillon. We definitely have a while to wait yet- ordered our Ocean Blue Sport S Feb 10. Hope you have a great trip. Looking forward to seeing pictures!

I built a spreadsheet so I can add all of the costs for each location. I’m counting my time as free but taking gas, hotel, food into account. Not really giving myself a limit at this point. Virginia and Idaho are still in the cards with other closer places. I agree that a nice drive back would provide places to see. I haven’t heard much about any dealers willing to give a decent price in MN so I’m planning on a trip at the end of the year
I traveled 35 miles just outside of Chicago to Tyson motors in Shorewood Illinois for 6% below invoice

To those of you traveling far to pick up your JL, aren't you not supposed to do a lot of highway driving for the first 300ish miles?
