I have to laugh.  When in the asphalt business I bought a piece of equipment sight unseen and picked it up at 9pm on the way to its first job.  By 10am the next morning I had already done 200 to 300 linear feet crack fill of my contracted 1 mile plus.  lmao.  That was one long day.  Got er done though.  Mark

We're not those kind of buyers.  Mr. Murty might be able to bring himself to do it, but I doubt it.  For me, it's a No.

I bought my latest car via the internet from a dealer in Las Vegas. Flew there prior to a family trip and drove it for our vacation then shipped it home to Kauai. Great car and got a great price.

Show us your new truck with a photo......

I have ordered car and picked it up.... Most of the time I have seen a different color, or option. No surprise.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you William. When I had mine I bought it brand new the day it appeared on the dealer's lot. I had been snow plowing for about 5 winters by then (not in FL) and knew how to make the most of it. Have your mechanic check the transmission, brakes and clutch before putting it into service. Those are usually the first items to go even if it's low mileage.

My driveway is too short to require a truck with plow attachment, so "no" is my answer.

Good morning William. Have not purchased any vehicles without seeing them, but a couple pieces of real estate, one worked out well, the other, not so much.

I haven't ever done this. Although I did have a buyer purchase a bank owned fixer from me just based upon her brother viewing it. She had never seen the house or neighborhood.
