try going to ebaymotors.com. i think there's a link there to a vehicle shipping company -- might be able to give you an on-line quote.

Try doing a search for Auto transporters.

Would it be cheaper to go get it?

try checking companies using a search engine like yahoo. i submitted several requests for online quotes from about 8 companies. i ended up getting responses from all of them. prices varied by a few hundred dollars. make sure you shop around.

Got anyone you trust that could drive it to you ??? Pay for thier trip, fuel, food, and what you think is fair for thier time.

i have done this a few times, it depends, i bought a blazer in ohio, drove out and towbarred it back, by the time i paid for gas and time, was an ok deal, but not a great deal like it started out; flew to virginia beach and drove one back after several emails where the seller promised that i would have no problems, and i didn't, although va beach to texas in one day is a kicker; and lastly in the same boat, going to have one shipped from new jersey by DAS (dependable auto shippers), i did an online search and filled out one form and got quotes from about six different companies, and they had the best price, plus they are local

and thus are my experiences so far; i try to factor in all the variables such as gas, food and time and then try to make a decision on the cheapest and/or easiest /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

whoops, sorry sandman, i just noticed i replied to the wrong person /forums/images/icons/blush.gif

I figured it out. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif What kind of prices did you have to pay for shipping a vehicle?

das is going to charge: 650 terminal to terminal (newark to dallas) or 750 door to door, according to their quote by mail and email, AND i did inform them this was not an average blazer (39 inch tires) and that is the quote, one other company was only 50 higher and one was 300 higher and two said: nope, not us /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

i emailed them to(d.a.s)they quoted 1300.00 to ship it.
i was just seeing if anyone knew cheaper alternatives,
oh well might be taking a road trip to get it /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
