It was easy.
Bought from Fontana Nissan and had it shipped all the way from California to Florida. Last time I checked, they are still offering $2,000 off to forum members on all orphans through the end of December. Even including shipping costs, that was still $900 off MSRP for me, and given local dealers in Florida charge about a $600 "dealer service fee", it was more like $1,500 less than I could have bought locally. The car was dirty when it arrived, but once cleaned up, it was flawless.
The only restriction is that it's a cash deal. No leases.
I'll be selling my Prius to CarMax this weekend for a couple thousand dollars more than the local dealer was going to offer me as a trade-in.
Overall, a win-win on both sides of the transaction.
Many of us bought from Rairdon's in Wa and had them shipped to AZ. Dealer paid all but $150 of the shipping cost.
