How does that work? How do you establish a proper relationship with a dealer that you normally have no access to due to distance? A neighbour of mine purchased a demo 3-series BMW from Mildura BMW, where all the negotiation and contracts were done by phone and email. The car was shipped to his residence, a distance of 555 km by road. When received, the vehicle was not in the condition he expected, though I don't know if the damage was before or after it boarded the truck. I have read in this forum of members flying interstate or intrastate to collect their new purchase. This seems a bit drastic, and not something I would readily do. What would happen if there was a pre-delivery issue that required resolution by the selling dealer, but you're already halfway home several hours later?
