buckethead Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 The whatever section would be more appropriate... To answer your question though, it's not cheap. I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper for you to fly one way to florida and drive the car back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCRagtopguy Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I know that to ship a car from CA to PA would be over $1000 so you absolutely would be better off flying in and driving home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuttySup Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 It depends a lot on what kind of car it is. Obviously a Hummer is gonna cost more to ship than a Ford Taurus. It depends on which company, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Yah shipping isn't cheap, I believe the cheapest I found, FL to CO, uncovered, was like 650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I was going to buy a TGP in Iowa I contacted a bunch of companies about shipping the car to Buffalo. The lowest quote I recieved was $625. BTW didnt one of the guys on this board buy it....I think his screen name is Nick??? Just my 2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
