You can ship in on a truck from $500 to $1000. It just depends if they are near your pick up spot, and driving towards where u want it to go. So if its that case it will be towards the 500 range. Otherwise look to spend around 1,000.

ive had numerous of my cars transported.....Exotic Car Transport is the best there is you will have no issues. Great Company

noro · 11-25-2007, 09:40 PM

I transported mine using Trusty Transport, no issues.

trickydisco · 11-25-2007, 09:45 PM

Intercity has also been recommended.

make sure you get a trustworthy company. some companies treat your car like crap

alternatively, you can rent a uhaul truck + trailer and transport your car yourself.

+1 for transportreviews.com!! I just used them this last month to research a transport from Seattle, Wa to Orlando, Fl. I went with Specialty Mobile Systems but they just contract it out to someone local to you. They just play the middle man. It was an open transport and went very smoothly and the driver was very knowledgeable of my car.

It had zero issues upon arrival but it needed a bath really bad!!

Definitely check out the website to help you decide.

That's what I'm doing, I'm trucking it myself with a trailer. I understand there are tie down points under the car. Certainly helps the confidence level that it's being done right by doing it myself.

You want the best? Go with CSL Transport. They're a bit more expensive than the others out there but they are the best. Give Brian a call. He's the owner.

Park2670 · 12-21-2007, 04:40 PM

That website says none found for what states I am using. Any tips? Id drive it, but 2000 miles seems a bit too much for me right now

topracer · 02-14-2008, 09:26 PM

I am looking for something reasonable from Seattle to New York. Any advise?

Kev · 02-14-2008, 09:34 PM

Horseless Carriage and Intercity come to mind

Park2670 · 02-14-2008, 09:34 PM

What ever you do, DO NOT use Silva auto transport. I scheduled in December, pickup in January. Still hasnt been picked up. I am not a happy person right now.

Ha ha...it's funny, just this week I was looking into a transport from New York to Seattle. Maybe we should just drive ourselves and meet somewhere in the middle!
