so i bought a celica and need to ship it from New Jersey to Florida. ive talk to a few companies and the prices are a bit high. i would like to pay no more than $500 for the service. i was thinking to fly from florida to new jersey and drive it back but at the end i might spending more money because the car has no tag and insuranse. that means that i would need to trasfer my tag and insuranse to that celica, pay for tolls and gas, car gives around 28mph per gallon (about 1200 miles/18 hours of drive) and pay to flight there about $140
so i dont know whats more convienent. someone kwos a company with low rates? -------------------- |

This is why you think things out before committing. Eh, you should only have to get it insured as far as making it legal to drive back home. Get a grace period on tagging it, since you can't tag it until you have the title anyway. Another option is you have a friend with a truck and trailer and tow it home. Personally I wouldn't attempt driving a "new to you" car that far, especially one of that age.

Personally I wouldn't attempt driving a "new to you" car that far, especially one of that age. i thought about it haha i only have 2 options. like Block said. buy a one way ticket and drive it back, but to do this a need to calculate gas, tolls, tag, insurance etc and that might more than $500... or just pay what most of the companies are asking $650-$750 at the end if i dont find a company who brings it for $500 ill just pay what they ask. But if you know a company or have a truck and you are willing to bring it for $500, you got a deal. -------------------- |
