Default shipping vehicles help...

what companies do you reccommend? i've heard most of the times are DAS... so far for my NYSP Caprice to be shipped here to Florida from NY would be $800 by UnitedRoad.. are they good?

Express auto transport $1,060..

DAS $1070

Fedex $1629...

I would appreciate feedbacks or suggestions.

Some one told me there was a rail car system too that works great on the east coast. You might check that out. If not get a plane ticket fly up and drive back. I doubt it would cost you $800.00 to do that.

Hmm as of right now, i pretty much figured.. hotel, gas, food.. its close to 800 plus my vacation hours are low so i rather not to use it u.. my other choice is to ship it.. that owner has health problems so he cant drive, he has kids to take care of.. so best way to go is 2 ways.. me come there to pick it up or have it shipped here via truck by door to door.

400.00 gas
100.00 plane (Southwest airlines)
150.00 food
60.00 motel

I took 2 days. I drove from D.C. to Houston, Texas 1460 miles in just under 24 hours (drive time) 32 hours total.

$370.00 total no plane ticket though.
I ate at the drive through of choice and gas was avg. $3.60 gallon and I was getting avg. 20mpg. I stayed 1 night for $55.00 motel.
