hey hows it going? so its about that time i orginally bought the 914 as a gift for my dad for Christmas. the car is almost in perfect condition other than paint. i've re did most of the interior already and had work done on the transmisson so i think its time to get this car out to him so i can give it to him Christmas morning. i ve had a blast with this car and hate to give it up but would rather have my dad have it and let him live in his glory days and feel young agian and get him in the garage. also another reason for him to tell my mom he's busy today working on the car so she wont have him redoing the whole house.
so back on topic any have any cheap/afforable shippers that will go from california to nj? ive gotten a few quotes ranging from 700-2300. Since i bought the car the rest of the family is chipping in to get the car out to jersey so were just looking for the most afforable way. i know its a few months away till Christmas but i live in the mountains of california and they get covered with a couple of feet of snow durning the winter months. thnaks for the help mike |

I have been finding lately that you get what you pay for from shipping cars.
The lower cost shippers use open carriers which IMHO is fine. The issue is that they do not show up when they say they will, sometimes days go by...lots of excuses... they also never deliver when they say they will, lots of excuses. So if you save the money, you will pay by taking time off of work on both ends....someone needs to be there at both sides and like I said...days go by with no phone calls...no communication from the lower cost shippers.
