Funny ... I did the same opposite direction. Found the exact 13 Lux I wanted from a Mercedes dealer in DC. Had been traded in and wasn't even on the lot yet. They wouldn't take a credit card but said they'd hold it one day. Drove to JFK, certified check in hand (no time to arrange financing), salesman picked me up at the airport, drove to the dealer at 11pm, he opened the place up, we took care of the paperwork and less than an hour later I was on my way back to NY in my new car.
Great story and congrats on the find. If it was listed on any of the carfinder sites I may have seen it but was looking for a darker color. My seller was located in Great Neck/Bayside and my trip was on 10/27. I was there for 5 hours by the time we wrapped up test drive, thorough inspection to make sure all electricals and systems worked, paperwork etc. The guys were classic NYC car guys and I was entertained by them for the duration so the time went quickly. I'm loving the "new" LR4 and have been getting a lot of compliments.
