I agree that the drive is a great way to get to know your car. However, it could be the longest trip of your life in you experinece any problems.
I
bought my car in Jersey, and drove it down to Florida without a problem. The major purchasing point for me, was that the car was routinely serviced by a forum member, which made me feel more at ease about the whole deal.

Good luck
