We talked a bit about the cost of this, but - hey, it's not my money at the end of the day.
I'll pass along the Hertz Ford Transit idea - might give them both more room and a smaller bill.

Did someone say this trip is starting in CA and going out of state? I understand that rentals LEAVING CA are pretty expensive because of demand.

You could be in the drivers seat with this. Negotiate with the dealer to see what it’s worth to them for you to keep the loan until June.
As always, “if you don’t ask, you don’t get”.

Yeah. I get that. I'm not really concerned about getting anything out of it. They have been pretty nice to me so I wanted to check before paying it off.
I don't know how much they would have got. If it's based on the amount of the loan, it wouldn't have been much. I should have just paid for it when I bought it. I don't know why I didn't except, at the time, BMW Bank would have knocked off $1,000 if financing through them. That ended a few days before they got this car in. The dealer did add another $1,000 to my trade-in.

Pick up state does matter. When I got the 15” last year to take some stuff to the new house it was about $200 cheaper to pick it up in Delaware (about 45 minutes away) than locally in south Jersey.
Delaware was considered in the south so a place more people go to, so they need trucks up in NY where people go from.

@nyccarguy - not sure whether this has been mentioned, but would a Pacifica or Sienna with AWD be roomy enough?

I can understand not wanting to upset the dealer because you don’t want any problems when you take it in for service but a friendly what can you do for me with this shouldn’t hurt.
FWIW, before we got the ‘15 Genny the plan was to pay for it and be done with it. That changed when we were at the table with the salesman and he mentioned 0.9% financing for up to 5 years. Both Son #1 and I said, “huh, when did that start? We didn’t see this anywhere”. The salesman assured us it was for real, so I said, “yes, I’ll take the financing”. Mrs. j still wanted to pay it off but it wasn’t until my Son showed her why it was a good deal. Since his undergraduate is in accounting she agreed. More or less telling me I was OK with technical stuff but he had a piece of paper proving he knew something about financial stuff.
On top of that I got the $500 military discount even though I was discharged from the Navy many years ago and wasn’t on active duty. I still don’t know how they did that but they did. All I had to do was give them a copy of my DD214 form (they told me about this before we showed up at the dealership in Virginia).

If I had to bet, I’d say they will replace the brake lines and do the spray coating fix too.

other than the fact that he just did drive a FCA product for a year (and probably that range models).

I’m assuming the cost of a Pacifica with an extended warranty is probably almost as much as a Sienna… not that a warranty saves you the annoyance of having to deal with any needed repairs.
A local Hyundai/Genesis dealer requires you to finance through them in exchange for no markups over MSRP (other than $699 D&H ). Not only that, but on their website, you can build your “deal,” and the financing on a new GV80 is at 9.99%, despite Genesis currently having incentivized rates of 4.49% (or 5.49% with $1,000 cash incentive).
Feels like that is bordering on being illegal in some manner.
In contrast, another local Genesis dealer has the same “build your deal” tool on their website and everything is very transparent with rebates and incentivized rates, and they are even discounting off MSRP on inventory that has been there for a little while.

Maybe I should rephrase that. I don't want to drive an FCA product in excess of 20K miles per year, chew through the factory warranty in 18 months, and not be able to get out of my lease or loan because it will be underwater.

as long as they don't have some nasty (if even legal) conditions that you can't pay the loan off early, could come out ahead (if needing a shower) to just finance with them and don't keep the loan long.
but it does sound like shady practices, and if they are playing those games with the small slice the buyer actually sees, I can only imagine what they are doing behind closed doors.

So they are going to mount & balance the new tires. I'm going to bring them the new suspension perches that I've had sitting in my garage for a few years. They are going to uninstall the springs and struts. Replace the perches. Reinstall the springs and struts. Put the new tires on, then perform an alignment. I will take the car for a few days and then drop it back off so it can pass state emissions!

I ran afoul of that rule about 15 years ago. Odyssey was due for inspection anyway, when the battery went. so I got up early on Saturday and went to Walmart across from the inspection station to get a new one, and since I was there, swung through the DMV. and got a rejection sticker for my effort because not enough start cycles. Had to go back the next week and it breezed right through.

So the lettering on the hood of the PJM (pajero mini) was in very bad shape. I thought I could just remove it and be done with it, but that was not the case. It became a matter of remove all traces and damage the paint or leave some traces and replace the graphics. Problem became finding replacement graphics. After some thinking and searching and recreating, it dawned on me to print my own, not as a sticker but as emblems that I will glue on. I’m happy with the print. Now to apply it properly tomorrow.

Look carefully at those papers you signed to get the military discount, you may have re-enlisted.

I looked at the car first and couldn’t figure out what the issue was. Then noticed the bids
But given what it is, not surprised. It’s a desirable special model in the collector world
