Shipping Company Recommendations?
Hey folks,
Need to find a reliable shipping company to bring a 2002 996 C4S from Scottsdale, Arizona to the nearest border crossing from Calgary, Alberta. At this point I'm just researching to find the right company and get a quote. Any suggestions on a company?
Where in the US would they be shipping the vehicle to? Would it be Sweetgrass, Montana? I'm planning to meet the vehicle on the US side and drive it across myself.
Thanks in advance.

Speak to Jacqui at TFX. They will even handle all the border paperwork too. So it's door to door shipping. You don't have to worry about picking it up at a depot somewhere in the US.

+1 on TFX. Although you have to pay TFX to take the car across the border, if you plan to get a receipt that shows less than what you actually paid, better to have neutral third party take the car over. The customs guys love to give buyers of nice cars a hard time to find out if they are being honest about how much they paid. When the shipping company takes the car through, what can they do, yell at the driver? For $180.00 of whatever they charge, it is worth it to let them do it. Just my .02.

TFX did a great job for me. Door to door.

Well it seems as though TFX is the winner hands-down. Now for another question. The selling price is $31,250.00 if everything checks out with the PPI/body-paint inspection. If the seller is agreeable, what would a reasonable selling price for the bill of sale be?

You really shouldn't be asking this on a public forum.
but you could figure to save the cost of transport on the taxes (and adjust the bill price accordingly)...needless to say I would never do something like that.
