After several months of searching for a used SUV that met the exact requirements my wife wanted, we finally found a vehicle at a dealership in Vancouver that met our needs and put a deposit on it.

The dealer has offered to ship it to Calgary OR pay for our flight to Vancouver to drive it back. A mountain drive sounds like a lot of fun and I would prefer to see the vehicle before closing the deal, but when I mentioned this to my Dad he said we were insane to drive the Coquihalla / TransCanada in the winter.

SUV is a 2012 X5 and I had the dealership include the winter tire package.

Thoughts? We are planning to fly out on the 2nd, but have not booked flights yet and can still opt for shipping.

Thanks.
