Before I placed my second order with Ourisman, I let both Chapman and Ourisman know I had two orders placed, and I'd take the first one that arrived.
track wrap if you don't have Granger's local detail + PPF shop give it a workup before you pick it up. And don't tailgate semis and construction trucks. If you do it right you'll be threading your way down every bumpkin 2-lane curvy road between IA and FL so you shouldn't have to dodge any heavy vehicles.
So you recommend staying off the Interstates and using the back/country roads. I know Ms and Al well because I lived in those 2 states and there is a lot of country roads in those 2 states.
it's what 1200 miles? if you do Interstate you'll end up droning the engine at low RPM for long periods of time. If you do interesting 2-lane you're in and out of the throttle constantly and doing a more optimal break-in procedure. You can use the interstate for those 30-80mph sprints where you zing it thru the RPM range and back down.
Ill be doing the same trip sometime in September based on my current prod date. plan to go through Indianapolis to visit my wife’s family then south to central Florida. About 1500miles.
did you finance with them? if yes is it a good rate? (dont need the exact number if you arent ok giving it, possibly due to credit issues)
Nah I didn't finance. Paying cash. I plan on keeping this car for a long time unless the S650 refresh down the road makes this car obsolete or someone offers me way over market value for it for whatever reason. Plus I don't like being in debt, lol.
Nice!! I bought mine from Chapman as well. I asked them not to put the dealer sticker on, and they did anyway. The good news is, it peeled right off with no problem at all. I did that as soon as I got home. I still have their license plate frame on the car because I'm still on the PA temporary cardboard tag. I was going to pull the frame off but it seems to be helping to keep the cardboard tag attached to the car. The tag has gotten wet several times from washing. That didn't do the temp tag's structural integrity any good. As soon as my hard tags get in, the frame is getting tossed in the recycle bin. The delivery process was pretty painless, I was in and out of there in about 45 minutes. Have fun with your new ride!!I'm off to pick my new ride up this weekend! So excited!
I’m also having a road trip later in the Fall from Granger/Des Moines, but only to Atlanta. Was thinking first stop at Eureka MO, next to St Louis, for the Route 66 National Park museum. Then through the Mark Twain National Forest and Ozark Plateau.
