I found a nice, unmolested 1989 944 Turbo in Oregon and decided to buy it for DE use (my 968 cab can now relax a little). The next challenge is to get the 944T to Connecticut w/out breaking the bank. Does anyone know a reputable and affordable car carrier with coast-to-coast service? <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/cool.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Try these folks.

I sold my wife's 928 several years back, and they shipped it from IN to Hollywood, CA. Did a fine job. IIRC, it was about $1,000.00
Of course, I think it may be dependent on which Trucker you are lucky enough to get... but if price is the issue, I would try them.

I used Dependable Auto Shippers based on a forums recommendation.
They got my 968 from Florida to Norcal in about a week, with online tracking, no problems.

[quote name='flash' post='32954' date='Mar 21 2007, 03:52 PM']it's tough - gas prices have really jacked shipping rates

There a difference between "affordable" and "reliable." It's a gamble on the lower priced carriers. Do a Rennlist search and you'll see lots of horror stories.
