I'm scheduled to take delivery of my RR touring in N. Florida the week after x-mas.
Good News: The dealer called with the vin # yesterday and told me that it had shipped that morning.
Bad News: The vehicle must travel via rail from the Great White North to Birmingham Ala. where it will be off loaded and trucked to the dealer. Throw in the holiday and they could not guarantee that it would be @ the dealership prepped and ready to roll on the 27th as scheduled.
The Problem: I've already made plans to travel from D.C.(my home) to South Ga.(my in-laws) on the 25th make the pick up. I'd planned on a leisurely return trip along the state roads with numerous stops @ roadside BBQ joints. The MDX's uncertain arrival date has thrown a monkey wrench in those plans.
Dealer Solutions: They've promised to keep me updated on the daily progress as it winds its way south, and offered a range of solutions.
1) Pick it up when it arrives on time..still a possibility.
2) Have them ship it back to D.C. upon its arrival. They'll waive the delivery charge to pay the freight.
3) Save $3,000 by choosing from three premium models currently on their lot.
4) return to the in-laws within the month to take delivery. (right up there with root canal).
My Question: Because the passenger side adjustable seat and memory features were the only options about which I felt strongly, should I save the cash and plow it back into a kick'n after market audio video package?
Resting uncomfortably on the horns of the dilemma.
