Default Best car transporters - covered

Guys,
Any feedback regarding the best car transporters who could transport my M3 from east cost to west cost (covered of course) at a reasonable price...
Thanks
Loki

j.mintzer@metrogistics.com if he's still there.

Very professional. Very dependable. Very safe. Very reasonable.

What the hell are you doing on a Porsche site asking about a damn M3? Is it a V8, by the way?

Actually looking for options to see if I can ship my 2011 m3 with 20k miles to a potential buyer in CA as I am in VA. This is to help create some space in my 2 car garage for the 991.2 gt3 with anticipated delivery this year end

I sold one through Craigslist/Autotrader. Took a while, though.
This guy made an interesting offer - http://enthusiastauto.com/. He loves low mileage M3's.
2.5K, or so, less than what i finally got; but, he would send a truck to pick up the car. Something to keep in the back of your mind if you get desperate.

And there's always this if you have the space and want to keep that V8 sound - http://www.rhinoshelters.com/5-instant-garages They're neat!

Good Luck with it.

Actually spoke to a mclaren/Lamborghini dealer near my house.. Since the VP is my neighbor, they are ready to ship my car for 1100 bucks but the condition is I have to wait for their carrier to have enough cars for them to ship cross country

I would be very wary of someone charging that little for coast to coast enclosed transport. I just paid $850 for Intercity from Maryland to Mass. I did check with Reliable only for the fact they might be quicker picking up. Price was $1150....about 7 hours drive time

I don't think you will get coast to coast from one of the good ones for that cheap.....

And $1100 is great but how long is the wait? Could be very long to fill a truck coast to coast

Thanks .. Even I don't know how long is the wait going to be .. But looks like they do ship their cars from coast to coast for dealers and customers so let's see .. As long as buyer is ready to wait
