anyone know ??

I received quotes from $900 to $1,200

...I still have their emails if you wanted me to forward them to you Jim.

I paid $900 from NV to GA about a year ago.

When I was looking for a car, I google'd "auto shipper" or something and found a couple of sites who represent 10 or 20 shippers. After filling out a form, I got about 15 responses, mostly email, one by phone; most within an hour or 2. Figure an extra $200 to $600 if the car is not operatable.

What are you looking at now Jim? The trip to Iowa was not enough?

..yeah...very important extra to consider.

Intercity is probally the best. That's an enclosed carrier. Probally $100 or so more than Dependable. Dependable damaged my 73 when shipped, and also shipped it in an open carrier when I paid for enclosed. Most people have had no problems with them. But I certinaly wouldn't reckomend them. Make sure the car is insured prior to shipping (zero deductable which u can change later). Easier to deal with your own company and have them pursue it, then the shippers if their is an issue. Good luck!

mostly i just like to get tabs on this info but ...

if i sell my house any time soon and replace it with a house that has a decent sized garage - my first $7000 plus $1500 for shipping is going here : )

Martin Baker just paid $1800 for enclosed door to door from Intercity I believe. Maybe he will chime in sometime today on this. This was East Coast to West Coast though...

I guess anything in between $1500 and $2000 for a known good transport company - depending on the current gas prices is fair - after all - it is a 3000 mile trip.

Picking it up personally either means driving there with a trailer on a gas guzzler, or flying in with airfare costs and driving back with gas, tools, wear and tear and potential break down potential.

When I moved here from CA in 2005 I used DAS 9Dependable Auto Shippers) and the cost was $700 for each of my 2 vehicles. But that was lower level, open trailer.

Wow went up quite abit... I had my 75 shipped in 2001 for $900 from intercity. AR to NJ.

I think DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) must have rates and rates! I just paid $1100, Maine to Oregon, which is about as far as you can go in the lower 48. Open carrier and slow. I have used Intercity (probably one of the best and most costly) and FedEx (Passport) for enclosed if the car is worth protecting. I think FedEx is as good as Intercity and they charge less. All have online tracking. I have had decent service from DAS and used them this time because I didn't want to pay over $2000 to ship a $5000 car. They are really a broker and don't have their own trucks/drivers as do Intercity, FedEx and many others. My car took one month to move from a depot in Mass. to a depot 15 miles from my house. It sat for several days in 4 different locations waiting for a truck coming my direction. The extra loading/unloading is always a risk and it likely sat out in the elements at each stop. All in all, I was in no hurry and I saved at least $1000. As always, you usually get what you pay for.
