Good luck! Let us know once you have the car. I sure hope it's in good condition.

May as well be on Jupiter. I hate these leechy bastards. They're all the same. Try getting a quote on an e-system. Your phone will immediately light up with at least 10 transporters trying to get you to use them. They bait and switch the prices. ALL of them do. It's a free for all and you're Lucky Pierre. It's not like you can say one guy said he will do it for this much and can you beat it?

Once they have you, they start massaging the price until you're paying top dollar for a crappy hauler.

Like what is going on here. Sweet talk until the act is over and they have your money. Now you're their bitch. i wish you only the best. Make sure you inspect the car when it comes. THOROUGHLY! Make them wait until you're done like they made you wait for them to get there.

Sometimes, its cheaper to ship than driving back. I shipped mine from Florida to Detroit for $510. Couldn't fly down, pay food and gas, and hotel after one night for that price. Plus, didn't have to worry about anything mechanical on a new to me car. But, this was all in 2012.

Virtually every truck that works for a carrier is satellite tracked these days. If you used a broker, it’s a toss up.
