Please tell me you were towing it!!!

I'd kill to get paid to drive an S.
Why do you think I volunteered to do it the first time!!!

It was mutually beneficial. The owner has his car well taken care of, and saved alot of $$ and headache. I got to drive an S on a road trip and not put miles on mine.

Win-win for both.

First off, congrats.

Second......transport companies are pretty expensive, and you never know how they will treat the car while shuffling it around.
That being said it is still probably your best option this time of year.

I live about 30 minutes from the Honda dealer where this guy purchased the car from, and I can say that driving the car this time of year isn't really a good idea. Although we are in between snowstorms and the roads are relatively clean, who knows when we'll get another one and S-02s in the snow is not too good of an idea, especially if you are new to the car.

To give you an idea, it cost me $650 to transport my old RX-7 from New Jersey to Oklahoma -

Took about a week, and it was a dual decker trailer... meaning some big fat trucker has to shuffle the cars around in order to deliver one to the next house. Not to mention the car gets extremely dirty and I had a few unwanted scratches...

I wouldn't ship again unless it was a closed trailer truck.

thing is, I work full time, imagine that! And goto NYC for work for 6 days, followed by Tahoe for 4 days, and leaves me no time to drive it back! plus i dont really want to drive across salty/sandy roads and over mtn passes, not to mention tacking on 3k miles onto the car. takes away from the newness!

sounds like i should consider covered....

Good luck getting your new wheels home, ks. That's an awesome price, although the initial mileage might've scared me off. Still...

Nice.

hahaha I was mislead by the thread topic! I thought you won it from a dealership giveaway drawing and you had option of taking $25k instead but definitely a big congrats on the purchase
