[QUOTE=ltcjmramos;12137871][QUOTE=Collin Chapin;12137818]...
If there's a financially responsible reason to buy in Florida, primarily that the car has never seen snow etc, I'm way more willing to wait.
...
If resale value is important to you, a CA/TX/AZ/FL... car, IMO, will have better marketability.

[QUOTE=ltcjmramos;12139435][QUOTE=ltcjmramos;12137871]To be fair I did make that comment before you recommended buying from those states. :P

It's more important to get the right car that's well taken care of and exactly what you want than a car in a convenient location.
Of course if you're looking for black, silver or gray or aren't particular with the options you want all bets are off. You'll have tons of selection so get it wherever you want.
As ltcjmramos said...unless you're taking back roads all the way the drive from CT to FL would be pretty boring. Lots of straight and flat roads headed down there on I 95. Plus you have to go through VA where if you go above 80 they put you in prison.

Just buy the car that strikes you even if it's in NE. How often do you see a 911 on a snowy day? They're all parked in the garage waiting for a nice day or no salt/snow on the ground.
When I first got mine, I used to be very **** about not driving it during winter season but I realized it's just a car and it is depreciating while it's in the garage. So now I drive mine during winter seasons but never when it's snowing or visible salt on the ground.
Good luck with search.

I am pretty picky about what options I'm looking for so everything you guys have said has made me feel better about maybe just buying one up here if the timing is right. I used the 911 locator and so far cannot find a single car that meets my needs... So if I come across it I probably won't wait.
