    I am looking at purchasing a car in CA and having it, and anything that goes with it, shipped to Detroit. Any idea what comapnies to contact and approximately what it would cost? I didn't look thru the archives to see if this topic had been addressed previously, so please forgive and point me in the right direction. Thanks.....gmg

    [url="http://www.reliablecarriers.com"]www.reliablecarriers.com[/url] if the car is worth it to you.. The cost would be ballpark between 1100-1500 for their enclosed shipment service.. They are a class act and VERY careful shippers..

    A lot of the car carriers - both open and closed trailers - are part of a consortium and they share assignments when trucks are going in the same direction. In Hemming's Motor News there are always a series of ads for car transport companies. If you call one, you may get a call back from another. Several years ago, I had a car brought in from Denver (sitting on its own open trailer) on an open trailer wrapped with a tarp by the seller. The cost was about $1100.

    To get a FC to MI from NM, I flew out on a one-way ticket and rented a truck from Budget. The owner picked me up from the airport and helped me get the car / spares loaded for the drive home. The whole process from door to door took 2.5 days. Cost was just over $1000. It was a neat experience, but I will not do this again knowing that a shipping company can do it for roughly the same cost!

    I have two friends who have used YearRound
    Transport with good results, and they both
    thought the price was pretty good. FWIW.

    The guy I bought my car from (in WI) suggested YearRound but I thought I could get a better price. After two weeks of research, I couldn't beat their price. They brought my car to my job and I couldn't have been any happier with their service.
