He usually has a friendly dealership in your area that will do a "courtesy delivery". They might charge you a nominal fee but then you don't pay the other shipping charge.
Thank You.

Up here in the Pacific NW, I am not aware of any dealer's that will do a courtesy delivery and of the ones who did in the past, I heard nothing but nightmare stories. And that nominal fee was $500.

If a local dealership does $1K or heck even $1500 over ED invoice (which they do) it is a wash given the fact, car arrives locally, no chance of getting damaged by a 3rd party shipping company & etc.

I have been meaning to buy a car from David for years but still have not figured out a way.

Also, if you are not leasing, state of CA will make you pay their taxes if you take delivery there which causes another headache.
