[QUOTE="FHATTCATT, post: 12077595, member: 51587"] Atlanta? Just a thought- but maybe fly down, check the car out, and make a 1-2 day trip to cruise back with it? Unless it is a ridiculously low mileage collector kind of investment purchase to garage where you don't want to put mileage on it...? Seriously, if I weren't on pain meds, I would offer my services for hire. Have done the fly out (or train, or bus) plan a number of times myself. The farthest I have gone was out to Denver just a few years ago. Even then, I probably could still do it, I would just add a couple more days to the trip because I would need to take additional rest stops as needed. Sure, you put miles on the car, and it costs a few dollars for fuel, meals, and maybe a hotel room for a night... but it would be less expensive than getting it shipped. And it is cool to go on the trip and take photos along the way. It could also potentially save you big dollars if a car with problems is transported to your doorstep.... I would rather pay for a return flight, train, or bus, then pay for a car that shouldn't have been purchased. Edit: I had a car shipped to me from California around 8-10 years ago. The car was on the top row of the transport, before pulling the car off the trailer, I could see the transmission had a huge crack in the bellhousing and had leaked fluid all over a couple cars below. The paint jobs on the cars below were trashed. The owners of those cars tried to sue me, but ultimately had to sue the transport company because they should have seen that the car had fluid leaking out of it prior to loading it and shouldn't have. In addition to the tranny being toast, the whole car was a piece of garbage, particularly the engine which I was told had just been rebuilt, and the guy had emailed me receipts for the build prior to me buying it. There is but so much you can check a car out without seeing it for yourself, or having someone you trust do the leg work for you. Needless to say, won't get burned like that again- and so I will see in person anything I buy. [/QUOTE]
