No dealer for 150 miles

That's a long way to go for service but you could have the vehicle trucked if it's reasonable.
Appears the GT is fairly reliable so I don't think I'd let the distance be a deterrent. Putting 300 miles on the clock for each service would concern me though.

At the distance, I would have it trucked to the dealer for service. If you have a second car while it's gone then maybe, but it seems like it would be too much of a hassle especially if the CGT would be your daily driver.

The CGT will not be my daily driver. It will be my "nice day" car of choice. My commute to work is 2 miles.
I am just somewhat trigger shy on the deal because of the lack of a local dealer for service. The bigger problem is that my only local service exotic choices are Porsche, Mercedes, and Audi. There is no Lambo, Ferrari, or Bentley dealer in the state.

I have 3 Lambo and Bentley dealers within 30 miles and still hate going so I have the cars taken or picked up. I would get the car and find alternative means to have them go to the dealer.

Agreed, having the car transported is they easiest and most likely alternative. Though, I really hate tossing away $800 for the round trip fare everytime the car needs to be serviced. $800 is nothing compared to the total ownership investment, but I still hate wasting money.

You're lucky. The closest Ferrari/Bentley/Lambo dealers to me are over 400 miles in the Phoenix area. The closest Porsche dealer is 280-300 miles away in Tucson or Albuquerque!! That still wouldn't stop me from buying one.
Why?

Sorry, I'm retarded tonight. Found this through New Posts and didn't realize CGT meant Continental GT. Thoguht you were talking about daily driving a Carrera GT without another car
