Before you consider this route seriously, think about the following:
	How much can you *really* get the car for here?  BUY REMAR SUTTON'S
		BOOK: "DON'T GET TAKEN EVERY TIME -- HOW TO BUY YOUR NEXT CAR"
		You will probably be surprised at how effectively you can
		deal with a local car dealer once you understand their tricks.
		10% off factory sticker price is a starting point!
	Do you really want to wait the 3-6 weeks after your trip before the
		car gets back here?
	Would you go on this exact trip if you were not buying a car?  Or
		are you possibly wasting very valuable vacation time to
		pick up the car?

Certainly if these don't apply, or you don't care, then you should do it.
But try dealing tough here first and see just how well you can do!  Buy
Sutton's book (I can't stress this nearly enough).
