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. tongue.gif 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.

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. biggrin.gif
