Default Need car shipping - VA to MA!

Ok, I just got a 924 on Ebay for the ElectricPorsche.com project.

Only problem - it's got a dead engine, and it's in Virginia. I'm in Mass!

I need a way to get it here!

I know I can use DAS and stuff, but on the off chance someone is driving this route or runs an autoshipping firm, how much would it be for you to ship this?

Email me at Contact@ElectricPorsche.com

Thanks,
-Jeff

Well it quote "Overheated and died"

I wouldn't want to fubar the engine entirely in an attempt to get it to hobble the 450 miles.

I'd suggest having a backup domain name handy. Porsche will exert their trademark rights over that domain (even with your disclaimer at the bottom of the page). How about www.electric924.com? You can get it for under $9 at www.godaddy.com.

Where abouts in VA? I am heading up to Boston the week of the 22nd and I would like to help you out. It is a long shot but I am tring to get a car trailer soon that may help out since you don't want to have it driven. The odds of getting the trailer are about 20% but I will let you know.

Eitherway, I couldn't imagine a transporter costing more than a few hundred bucks. I rent a car when I head up north and get it for the week under $200 (unlimited miles). rent a truck and trailer make a road trip of it!!!! Hell, stop by, I would like to take a peak at your new ride.

Supachink, where do you go to school? With your spring break schedule I am going to guess Mason.

Ahhh, sorry chap, I just found a guy for 425 and fortified the deal.

He was heading down today and will be bringing it up Sunday, so I figure this is sorta like "Rush Shipping!"

good to hear things worked out.

P.A.T.S. pats pats pats!!! I am going back to school to complete my BS after taking a 3-year hiatus. I don't think I have seen your car on campus. Though there is a red 944 that parks in the garage.

Not a problem.

I'm glad my thread could live on being jacked since the shipping prob is solved.
