Try dependable auto shippers. I use them to ship cross country. Might be pretty cheap going that short of a distance.

When are you looking to do it. I go up there all the time. I live in Dana point and have family in Sonora. I would be willing to transport it for ya. I was just up there last weekend. Give me a call at 209-559-7342.

I used DAS to ship a car from Cali, to NC and they ended up tearing off the passenger side mirror, and screwing up the drivers side door on an 02 WS.6.

We had a good experience with DAS when they shipped my wife's car cross-country but I've heard some horror stories.

When you wanting to do this? I've been wanting to get the mini-tub installed in my car and I hear there's a few guys in the L.A. area that are good. It would be good to tow my WS.6 down there, drop it off and tow a car back for some cash.

I actually purchased my WS.6 from San Diego in February 2009, I had to tow it all the way back to Willows (90 miles north of Sac) in the rain.

I wouldn't use DAS either. Had a car shipped from NY to CA and it arrived with coolant all over the hood, roof and parts of the side. It ate through the paint and the insurance claim through them resulted in nothing.
