im debating if i want to use a car transporter or just drive my car to where im stationed in cali. so far ive got soem quotes from like 845 to 1450. any advice or tips on what i should do. i think it be cheaper to drive there.

ya ill be driving a turbo hatch there with no radio, ac, or power steering. but i plan on getting a radio before the trip though

 

You might want to check with AMTrack, I know they have a setup where you can ride the train with your car on the east coast. I don't know if they have that type of service going out west?? I'm sure it would still be more expensive than gas, but might be worth a look.

 

weigh the options

1. the amount the transport costs
2. plane ticket


or

1.gas
2. food
3. hotel
4. being hot as fuck all the time
5. spending days driving in a car that is probley not the best riding suspension
6. wear and tear on ur motor/turbo/tranny

IMO the transport is MUCH more economical and comfortable

 

if money is not an issue than transport it with out a doubt.

i just did this 6 months ago... if u need your car right when you get out there then your going to have to drive. i had my 2 cars transported and it took 2 weeks to get my cars. Thay told us it would be a week max but thay lied.. it was $800 a car
