Factory Pick Up - Cost and what does it include?

[robothero]

I go back and forth on it but I think I'd rather "beat the shit" out of my own car.

As a few others have said, I'd rather have the warning light come on or identify an issue/something missing on my own vehicle while its still under the purview of Scout than find out about it when I'm already on the road home.


Plus, depending on how accessories work, its a great opportunity for me to very quickly decide "you know what, I really should have added X..." while I'm still there and they can install it!

not sure if this has already been mentioned but Volvo offers a factory delivery option that involves paying for your flights to Sweden, your hotel, and food for a few days and then also pays to ship your technical back to the states to a dealership of your choice. https://www.volvocars.com/us/l/osd-tourist/
Do what you will with that info lol

Glad they still offer that. We almost did that back in 2011/2012. I’d prefer Scout offers experience but covering flights and hotels adds a lot of cost for everyone to absorb. That said I’ll keep pushing an add on $$ to spend night on site in a yurt or treehouse-that would be a cool experience

Fair points. Knowing the experience at BMW, no way I would use my own but it’s fair-if they are truly built as said then it should work but I suspect liability would force them to use their own vehicles. Imagine a novice who reacts poorly and rolls their Scout while learning. Seems like extra liability SM probably doesn’t need to deal with

Yeah I guess it really depends what the experience entails, not sure you'd want to have a track or course where there's a real chance of that happening.

well, if that's a risk the owner is willing to take. Come on J let them roll their Scouts.
