I would try a company such as Intercity Lines. They are up there in your area and a great company for shipping. They haul exotics, so your baby would be in good hands, they even show how they load it on their websites.....

I would also encourage you to stay away from 'open carriers'. They haul your car on a trailer that is exposed to outside elements and use chains to strap down your car. You want an 'enclosed trailer'. No chains, and it is in a NASCAR style trailer. Also, don't use a 'broker'. They will charge you a about $400 more and make all kinds of promises. I would go directly to the shipper's website. Also check out epinions.com, Intercity Lines comes highly rated. I haul exotics for a living, please take my advice seriously, your baby is too precious to trust to some yahoo.....

They quoted me at $400 to ship from St. Louis to Boston. My supervisor paid over $600 to go from boston to cali so I'd assume it would be atleast 5. Or you could take the chance and have someone on craigslist drive it down for you...lol

To properly ship your car it will be close to 1000 coast to coast.

It took 1000 to ship from North Carolina to Cali, then another 1000 from Cali to Hawaii. Another car I had shipped from Dallas, TX to North Carolina cost me 600.00. I would guestimate >1000.00 for your trip. Just call and get quotes, that's the only way to know for sure. O, and my Max was shipped from Jersey to North Carolina, and it cost me 400.00.

Hey Ammi,

Who'd you use?

Regarding the shipping, if you use said company above, I might be the one to transport it

You can decide for yourself whether a company you contact offers quality service at very reasonable rates, or not! Getting your vehicle transported door-to-door is a very safe way of ensuring that your car or other vehicle will arrive in one piece. After you have a few quotes in hand, and you have compared them, it should be easy to choose a quality company with exceptional rates.
