I thought a couple of Pittspeed members were in the automobile shipping business. I am looking to get quotes to ship a 94 Caprice Wagon from Irwin PA to Raliegh, NC. Wagon runs, so it can be driven onto the trailer.

Looking around quickly online reveals charges in the $400+ range.

Please send PM, and I will give cell number to discuss.

Thanks!

$278 dollars in fuel (@16mpg) and about 17 hours there and back.  
$400 would be a steal!

WTF tows a 4000lb car at 16mpg??? id imagine 12-13 loaded 16 unloaded on the way back with a trailer

I am asking to get quotes…maybe should not have even posted internet pricing, but was not trying to get a lowball price.

Never done this before.

After calling and getting some detailed quotes, it looks like $495-$595 is closer to what companies are charging. These quotes come from Dependable Auto Shippers, American Auto Transporters, and National Auto Transport.

I would rather give the business to a Pittspeed vendor/member…

Yea, was waiting to see if they replied or not.

Not asking someone to beat the $400 price. It seems like $500 is the low end of the range from better transporters, so if someone is willing to do it for $500, i’m willing to pay it.
