I bought a B4C from Austin and had it delivered by D.A.S.(dependable auto shippers) they did a great job, cost around $900.00

JRP - either 749 or 849. I can check my records later on tonight when I get home and verify that.

It was on an open transport, and took 3 weeks for delivery.

Before I bought the car I e-mailed 12-15 different transport companies, and they had the best customer service and price. It was also a bonus that I got to drop it off at their main headquarters which was just outside Dallas.

I am using CPM Motors. They were cheap but i am still waiting on my car to get picked up and it has been 3 weeks or better. They said it is a bad time of year to ship to my area (NW Kansas) because all the cars are going south. (???) Excuses But from Grand Rapids, MI to Goodland, KS it is $695 Door to door w/ insurance. When i was looking for a shipping company DAS was the most expensive. One of my freinds used AAcross USA and said they were great and cheap. www.aacrossusa.com

Whatever you do, DO NOT use A-1 Auto Transport! I used them to get my car from NJ to CA, and it took 2 weeks longer than they said, they had me pay extra for "expedited" shipping when it in fact took longer than the original estimate. Then, they dented up my hood (but it was too dirty to tell) and wouldn't pay for it. They also broke my air conditioning, and they have THE worst customer service. Afterwards, they just started ignoring my phone calls completely and wouldn't return calls.
