About 15 years ago, I bought a Nash TT from a dealer 800 miles away. It was a leftover at the end of the model year with an extremely low price, and it was exactly what we were looking for.
I drove there, it was perfect, so I bought it. WE NEVER needed warranty work.
Four years ago, we bought a Cougar TT (biggest mistake in my life) at a local dealer. Took it on a 3 night shake-down trip, had many problems. On the way home we took it directly to the same dealer with a list of problems to be fixed.
They told me to drop it off and they would "check it out" in a few weeks!
So much for "buying locally" and warranty work.
We took it home, called the factory and they okayed using a qualified mobile repair service.
