willsjs,
As jimtoo mentions, there are pros and cons to an Internet dealer purchase. Of course the pro is usually net cost based on very low overhead.
In addition to the con Jim mentioned about no thorough PDI by you, there can also be the con of local dealers not wanting to service you as fast as you'd like, as they tend to favor their own customers first. For some, this is not a con as they are transient or make their own repairs.
That said, many have had good long distance buying experiences and some have had poor ones. If you have a local dealer, give him a shot at your business before you make the final decision to go out of your area.
Best of luck and let the forum here know how it all came out.
Let me also say in advance, welcome to the Heartland Owners family.
Jim
