    From the pics offered, looks decent, especially for that asking price. More info in the ad might generate more interest though. If I still lived in that area I'd check it out.

    It only cost me $700 to have a car shipped from CA to MI 6 years ago.

    I found out we are in a good area to get cars shipped in from California, the RV Trailer industry ships Trailers from Indiana to California and the Truck drivers dead head back, they can usually take 3 cars back and anyware along the route or near Indiana is the preferred shipping destinations. I contacted a Broker they charged $150 to set up the shipment, 2 hours after I paid the fee my car was loaded up and on the way back. less than 48 hours after I paid the broker my car was delivered to my door and I paid the truck driver $550 and it arrived just as described. I was actually shocked at how fast it arrived.

    Beware.
    The family emergency deal is one of the oldest scams in the world.

    I will have to dig out the paper work, I went thru a broker. Price and delivery time is very location dependent, if the car or your final destination are "out of the way" it can greatly increase the cost and the delivery time. What I found out talking to the truck driver was that he hauled 3 or 4 RV trailers from were they are made near Elkhart Indiana to were about 1/2 of them are sold in California. He then would look for cars to deliver from California to near Northern Indiana or some were close to his route. I was lucky as he already had 2 cars loaded one for Chicago and 1 for Port Huron MI. He was actually only 10 miles from were my car was located, and was driving past my house to go to Port Huron. So it was a Win Win for both of us. He actually had to wait on the seller to go to the California DMV to do the paperwork on the car as I had only completed the Purchase a couple of hours before.
