Alot of people south florida ship cars thru setvice that puts them on trains and drop somewhere in MA. i don't think that works as well anymore. there are so many companies running back and forth to florida that it's cheaper that way. Had he not had a specific timeframe he could have been under a grand but he rented late and set up the shipping late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you call a local dealer they usualy have a local company who will do it as well quicker. I ended up flying to texas to bring a car back because i could not get anyone to pin my an exact date. Right. The office girl has been on it. All kinds of prices and not sure when they could do it . Like everything else. The COVID excuse. Not sure what that has to do with transporting but it is a problem. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdels Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I had a good experience with Mikes Discount Auto Transport out of Stratford WI. One on one with the owner. He is just a broker but everything went well and was responsive to calls/texts. Think it was $900 Virginia Beach to Marinette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I have been looking for a car hauler all week long down here and the one mfg in Ont that advertises how business is good down here at their location has no stock. They said they could have one by the end of next week. It was going to cost me $4K more than the advertised price lol. I located a mfg a couple hours from me that has stock and I'm going to buy one off them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately USA tire only makes fireball runs to Florida and CA. Nice people though. If the roads are decent next weekend I might just rent a car there and drive it back. $3/mile is the going rate right now for transport.

Looks like your only option is to gut it, throw a cage and race seat in it and go Lemons racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
