I found a vehicle 300 miles from my house. They said they will drive it up here to deliver the car. I show concerns about break-in process for the first 1000 miles.
Dealer said engine these days does not really need the break-in process.
Is this true?
nissan will autherize a delivery of a vehicle witrh up to 500 miles on it, getting a driver is the common way.. i felw to ND and drove a fronter back for a guy, ended up with 505 miles on it... its the price you pay to have it exactly the way you want for a popular vehicle... i have NEVER heard of a dealer trucking in a car.. EVER WAY to expensive...

Undallas, I used to sell cars and on that note I wouldn't trust somebody from the dealer driving 300 miles to deliver your brand new car to you.
Even though the new engines supposedly don't need a break in period, that salesman or porter doesn't care about the truck.
Blankgaze, believe me a dealer will pay for the cost of shipping a truck. I worked at a dealership in Los Angeles, CA and I sold a Suburban over the phone to a person in Oregon. The dealer paid for the Suburban to be loaded onto a flat bed and delivered to the customers front door.
Shipping isn't that high of a cost, see if the dealer will do it. If not, ask to split the cost, if he still refuses then fly there and drive it back yourself. You'll have a good amount of time to bond with the Pathfinder.

I have.
One good example is Grubbs Infiniti of Texas, who sells new Infiniti''s to customers all over the country. They deliver the car to you via flat-bed truck transport. You can find many examples of customers who got their cars this way over on FreshAlloy.com's forums, especially on the G35 forum. I wouldn't be surprised if their Nissan dealership does the same thing, or if other dealers have done business the same way.
My understanding is it's not really all that expensive.

My 04 Pathfinder, that I just purchased, had to be shipped in from Oklahoma
(I live in central Texas). The dealership told me that it was going to cost 700 bucks to have the car delivered. I said that would be fine (I was looking for an 04 silver LE with 20 miles, it was the closest one to my house). I ended up not paying for the delivery fee, because the car had scratches on it, and the dealership messed up the paper work. Oh well, this was for my wife, and she seems to like the car. (I had to sell my 4-runner )
Just thought I would pass along the information for the fee that I was charged.
