Take the drive. I drove 2 hours away to pick up my beauty for invoice price, plus they were the only dealer that had the vehicle the way i wanted. Those miles will help you get past the break-in period.

I bought a brand new '07 Z about two hours from where I lived and it is was such a pain! I had about two or three problems I had to get fixed in a course of one month and I dreaded driving there...waiting around...and then having to drive back! It took the whole day to fix little things...something went wrong with the audio and there goes my entire day off spent to fixing the Z! Honestly, unless you are saving thousands of dollars do NOT do it and save yourself some headaches! I actually ended up saving over $100/mo. by going to the dealer far away so I could grin and bear it, but for $500.00 I would have been kicking myself! When the vert Z comes out, you can bet I will be shopping locally!

Yes, you should be able to get the same service anywhere. Warranty issues are billed directly to Nissan. The only time that you should need to go back to the original dealer is if it was for an issue they created or for a part they added.

If you can negotiate well it wont be an issue, the issue is who has the car with the option that you want or if they'll dealer trade..... Also why would you pay a dime over invoice???

I've done it many times, it has never been an issue. Bought the car one place, serviced it at another. Just avoid dealer service contracts and you'll be fine.

If you don't want to drive 2-3 hours, you might want to give Connell Nissan a try. You might get lower than $500 over invoice there. I ordered mine from there for $300 over invoice.
