I agreeI would love to pay a destination fee. That mean we are getting our vehicle. Think positive.
I would think that you would want to run her hard for the first hr. or so changing gears every now and then to get the cam worked in. If I drive my Elio home I will do just that followed by an oil change. Run her up till about 1500 miles and then change the oil one more to Mobile 1 and should be good for the next 250k or soI like the idea of picking up at the factory, (seeing the production line and all) but I was wondering about engine break-in on an almost 400 mile drive home or is break-in even a thing anymore. I haven't bought a new car in 30 years.
I am about 90% certain that is NOT the case. Ohio requires all new vehicles to be sold at dealerships, and they will not grant dealership licenses to manufacturers. "Vehicle" is essentially defined as anything with a motor and wheels. That includes motorcycles. Some exceptions are made for things like tractors and other special purpose vehicles. (Maybe snowmobiles and/or ATVs, that sort of thing.) Motorcycles are not an exception. If you have other sources of info about it, I'd love to hear it. I've done some checking the the Ohio codes, but I wouldn't call my research extensive. Apparently Lily May found something about autocycle definitions in the Ohio laws that I've never seen.In Ohio you will be able to sell Elio's because it is considered a Motorcycle and that is permitted without a dealership.
