Whats the cheapest way to get a car from Utah to Michigan?? What freight carrier?

Im picking up a 1993 Mazda Rx7. Im looking to do the ls1 swap this winter to it.

I havent got any quotes on shipping yet, but does anyone know a cheap carrier?

Thanks,

Joe

Rent a trailer from U-haul and go get it. :-) Probably the cheapest way... I would hope.

1000 is good! I can only imagine the 400-500 dollar gas bill youd have alone for a drive like that both ways.. not to mention other expenses. Thats a deal

Chris and I spent over 500 bucks to get his Iroc out of Virginia, and that was when gas was 1.75 a gallon. 1000 bucks would be a great deal. Utah is alot farther away then Virginia is.

Yeah, and I thought it was bad then too. I cant imagine paying for round trip gas and expenses now. $1000 is a good deal.

lowest Ive gotten so far is 950. The car has no motor. So it makes it a little more expensive since its inop.

Im wondering if I should just take the ole blazer out there. Should be about 500 in gas alone. Then you figure 3 days expen. for my friend and I.


Hmmmm. Maybe I should just take then 950 without the headaches.

I only haul enclosed and can only do 1 at a time. $950 for a 2000 mile haul is a good deal, especially since it is a roller. I usually only haul nicer cars that people will pay a little extra to have them hauled singly and not have to wait 3 weeks for the semi to show up. If I had one going out there, I could use it as a back haul to get me home. But my next couple of trips are southbound and then I plan on going on the Hot Rod Power Tour.

Robvas,

Is that kid stupid?


TA/Jack,

Thanks for the reply. I found a company for $950. I understand that corporate companies that will hauld probably 5-6 cars with mine would be cheaper. When someone needs there nice ride taken care of properly im sure they call you. Thanks though.
