    Car Shipping Company

    Hey there all my wise and helpful friends!

    I *might* be buying a car from PA, and I'm in CO, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a good, reliable, CAREFUL, car shipping company I could use. I'd love to fly out and drive it back but I just don't have the vacation time

    I can search Google of course, but a known source is so much better.

    Let me know! Thanks!

    I had a good luck with finding shippers on this site: http://www.transportreviews.com/. My understanding is that some of these companies are brokers, so read the reviews carefully.

    Thanks for the tip. I actually found this site already and got some automated quotes...it would be cheaper for me to fly out, miss work, pay for gas and drive back lol.

    Twist my arm!

    BTW I am looking at a 2010 40th Anniversary Edition Nissan 370Z with only 20k miles. It's cherry. I want!

    No doubt it's cheaper to fly one way and drive the car back then to pay for shipping, especially in an enclosed track. Plus you get to inspect the car and the trip could be fun - if time allows. Good luck with the Z!

    Hiya Tom

    I'm working with a guy called DREW...

    ..at Auto Star Transport right now.

    He's getting prices to ship Cyrks VX to me from Roswell..
    ...and seems pretty reasonable...so far!



    1-888-802-8250 XT 2240

    I am giving him lots of latitude on time..and it will be an open transporter..
    ..but he's probably worth a shot for your needs.

    Maybe he'd do a deal if we both book?

    Cheers

    The only problem with flying out & driving it back is that you'll need to work something out with the seller to either have the deal close upon your arrival home (& use his tags & insurance for the drive home) or FedEx you the title before you depart so you can get it registered and insured for the drive home. Either option has risk.

    I had 3 cars shipped from New Jersey to California, using different companies. My advice is take some of digital photos of your vehicle if its possible, before they load it up and keep them until your car is transported. Here is some car shipping cost information. Don't look for the cheapest prices, sometimes it's worth the extra costs so its better to use reputable companies.

    I will be heading out to Ft Laramie Wyoming (just north of Cheyenne) in early Nov to move our travel trailer to my wife's next assignment ( she's a travel Nurse). We could probably work something out if interested.

    Hey all thanks for all the input.

    I'm actually flying out to Nashville this Friday to drive the car back. Ended up buying the same model with less miles from a different dealer.

    It's going to be an epic road trip
