Anyone have experience shipping a 914 from California to Texas? What's a ball park price? Shipping seems to make more sense than driving 1700 miles in a car you've just purchased.

Drive it! I just got back and it was a BLAST!
I drove from San Francisco to Flagstaff the first day - an easy drive. The second day I was going to stop in Amarillo but it was going so well that I continued to Fort Worth (my destination). Got here at 2 AM. Even though it was at least 104 outside in some areas, it was not bad in the car with the windows down. I have a few bugs to get off the front bumper, but it's much better than some of the damage I have heard of from shipping companies (no personal experience). If the car was sitting a long time or is a really unknown, you might be better off shipping as there are a lot of things to go wrong after all these years. |
