Shipping my E30

[Regnar75]

does anyone have experience shipping their e30 or any car, what companies are cheapest or best?

[Joe G]

i was going to ship, but instead i drove it. Way more fun, and cheaper too.

I have used Intercity twice. Not cheap but damn first rate.

It's hard to give a "cheapest company" as most shippers base their rates on available loads. You usually get it ~50% cheaper if they can pick up your car on a trailer that is already in route to the area you're shipping to, or returning in the same manner. The last car i shipped the guy waited 2 extra weeks to ship it for $700, when every other company quoted him around $1300 because they were all one-way trips.

Intercity, great service expensive, and Brown's Auto Transport, ~50% cheaper but good service as well.

i sent him a quote form on the website, il call tomorro its getting late tonight. thanks.

No problem, i am sure he'll check it in the morning.

As far as intercity goes, we give their drivers plenty of loads a year. We are insured over $1,000,000 (meaning if an Enzo lands on your E30, your all good). Ill talk to him in the AM as well to let him know that you are an enthusiast.

All the best,
Mike

I would be willing to drive it for you for the price of gas and a little $$$ for me. I can fly anywhere for free. Just looking to make a little side money when I am not working.

Do you by chance own a chopshop with contacts overseas? : p. you could probably set up a fun little company for yourself doing that if you legitimize it in some way.
