fs: 68 dart

Not after the car myself, but for those interested I did purchase my car from Northern CA and had DAS (Dependable Auto Shippers) ship it for me to NM. My experience at least was good with them. They have terminal to terminal shipping that is quite reasonable I thought. The seller drops the car off and you go and pick the car up from the local terminal. Was surprised at how many terminals there were. I ended up doing a door to door service and came in at around $600 for everything.

When I priced a tow dolly from U haul it was $350 alone. Thought by the time I add petrol, hotel stay, food, wear etc. I was well ahead.

Was transported most likely on a convoy type truck. They gave me an online tracking number and I could see step by step where the car was. Was supposed to take 10 days and actually arrived a day early. Was pretty happy.

I found it pays to look at the online quote quite a few times and play with the ship date a bit. When you input an older car in it tells you to call a rep. This is so they can tack on a BS charge of $100 or $150 (don't remember) for the car being older and bigger. I didn't get charged this when I shipped because I kept checking the online quote a few times a day for a few days and it finally popped up at about $450 term to term. Was the cheapest quote I'd seen by a good $100 or so. Called right away and told them I wanted to book a shipment for a '71 Dart. Said I was online on the site and the person asked what quote it gave. Told him $450 and said I wanted to add the door to door option. Gave the amount for that ($150 then) and he told me the total door to door would be $600. That was all in. No fuel surcharges, taxes or hidden fees. Did not mention the online note about the year. Perhaps I should have, but there you go as I did not get charged the extra.

Just inputted ship from 95111 San Jose, CA to 13440 Rome, NY for 7/31 and got a term to term quote of $777. Term in NY would be Syracuse, NY 13057. Door to door adds $212, but if you can have the person drop at a terminal and don't mind a jaunt to your local terminal $777 does not seem too bad. Of course, no authority and not an agent for DAS, but just thought others might want to know.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
