car shipping HELP?

anyone ever ship a car coast to coast, how was it? price? easy?


I'm thinking of shipping a car from Fountain Valley, California 92708
to Milwaukee, WI 53186


I been trying to look on the Internet for companies and prices but its all an arm and a leg almost as much as the car. DAS quoted me $1500....


do any of you got any leads tips or info?


I don't know if flyin and drivin back might me cheaper and better?

thanks

You can get a one-way plane ticket way cheaper than $1500. It really depends on how much $$ your time is worth. And if you can trust the car you just bought to get you 2000+ miles back home. It is kinda a toss up. If you don't have any plans, and wouldn't mind the trip, it might be fun to tour the countryside.

what! no one else here can offer any input?

hmm the road trip deal sounds good. but how should I go about taking care of that?

what about about paying him? just takin $2200 in cash like nothing? I know nothing about this stufff

thanks for any input and help

I agree with Sastanley.....road trips are fun....even better if you can get someone to go with you, but even alone its a good time.....as long as you think the car will make it from CA to WI and you can get the time off work then go for the road trip.....as for paying him I would get a cashiers check or money order or something....wouldnt carry that much cash on me

...know anyone with a truck? I've taken my dad's pickup and rented a uhaul car trailer and bought cars a good distance away.... I'm not too keen on driving an unkown car a long distance...and plus there's the registration issue, as most people wont let you leave with their plates...

as far as payment... cash definitely rules with private sales of cheap cars.. I dont think anyone will take a personal check..maybe they'll take a certified check..

my last civic hatch..I took out $3500 on my credit card to buy ;) haha... not a good idea ;)
