Buying out of Area?- Service back home?

Two weeks ago I placed a deposit for on a SS premium Nav from a local dealer her in metro Boston. I had checked all the local dealers and this one had the shortest wait time and no gouging. I was told I would get delivery in May. I found acuramdx.org a few days later and since have learned a lot from everyone-THANKS.

Here's my question/dilema

After reading tons of threads I learned that some have been able to get an X sooner by locating one out of the area (like out of state-many miles away) Like everyone who is waiting I want my X yesterday.

I have located an SS touring Nav down south I could have the end of this month. It coincides with a planned vacation so I have the time to get it. It does have touring which I could go for.

I called my local sales guy and asked him if I added touring would I get my X sooner. He said yes- probably a month sooner, maybe more, but no guarentees.

SO MY QUESTIONS ARE

1. If I buy out of state will I be treated the same by the service people back home? (I've had Audi's and the local dealer had a box on the service slip to check if the car was bought from them or elsewhere- My first one wasn't and I felt like I was treated second class because I didn't buy from them, the later cars bought from them they were O.K.)

2. Should I trust my local sales guy to get it sooner and just be patient and wait an not deal with the out of state shuffle?

Any input would be appreciated

Thanks!

I've owned an 87 Integra, as well as a 94 Integra that were both serviced from dealers that I didn't buy from. I've never had any trouble with warranty work, including the replacement of transmission in the 94 Integra. I did purchase my MDX from the local dealer, but service was never a concern. At my local dealer, each department seems to be run separately, so they don't seem to care where your car came from. It's my understanding that they like warranty work, because Honda pays them pretty well.
