99FLHRCI Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I shipped one from Nevada and I found a shipping company that shipped all kinds of things. It came on a Semi with a big CAT tractor leaving just enough for the car on the back. It was like $550 about 4 yrs ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hot_wire Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I shipped a car from Maine last summer. Positive experience. A brokerage firm hired out a small time driver who had 3 deliveries to make. $600 and a week wait, and my miata was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Quik7 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 had one come from San Diego for $750, took about 1.5 weeks and one from Alabama for $500 was here in 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Off topic but: This thread reminded me of something. A long time ago a friend and I were talking and we wondered if you could overnight a car from Japan to the US. So we called FedEX. They directed us to their freght department and the guy there said that they couldn't do it overnight. BUT they could do 2-day air and for a 3000lb curb weight it'd be roughly $30,000. On topic. You can get covered delivery for a bit more, but I think the most you'll pay for white-glove treatment across the country is about $2500. Makes you wonder why dealerships charge $5K+ over list for cars when you can search the country for a dealership willing to deal and have the car shipped.

baron_ Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 $600 seems cheap from california - very cheap $750 seems pretty cheap too I'd guess more like $1000 to ship from cali to Ohio always depends on time...covered or not - etc etc able auto transport has always done me well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Depends on if you want open transport or enclosed transport. I could see $750 ish for open trailor transport. If you want enclosed transport and proper treatment for a "special" car expect to pay $1800-2500. I paid $1750 nearly 2 years ago now to ship a car here from Seattle. I'm guessing with fuel prices those rates have gone up a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I don't know what he would charge, but I have a buddy who does this for a living. Here is his website: http://www.movinmusclecars.com/ His name is Don. Just call him and ask for a quote. He hauls for a lot of big names. I saw Archie Griffin's Camaro in Don's garage once when I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 There are always a ton of auctions on ebay. Search transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshymkiw83 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 http://www.exoticcartransport.com/index.html Have shipped with them before and they are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93fox Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Had mine shipped from columbus down here to pensacola for a little over $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 We got a wreck shipped from San Fran here for 1500. That was also 5+ years ago and the people shipping it i would not trust with anything not wrecked. I guess it better be a damn good deal or really rare to justify getting a car shipped. Cheapest way would be to take a long weekend vaca and drive it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
