As I mentioned in my earlier post today - the most powerful tool we have is our ability to WALK AWAY from any deal. When you fly out cross-country to see a car - your probability that you'll just pick up and leave is greatly diminished. Psychologically you feel, "Gee, i already spent $200 on a flight, $80 on a hotel, am I really going to walk away from the deal because the car has a scratch I didn't know about?"
The dealer knows this as well (and will use it against you) - you're less likely to find a sticking point since you've "invested" so much time and money into seeing this car. Just be careful...I certainly wouldn't recommend it.
