Re: Car transport
It usually costs more to do it yourself. But I enjoy the experience of going somewhere distance and driving the car home. Closest thing I get to a vacation anymore. Last month we went to Beloit WI and picked up a 97 Dodge one ton. Great trip with a stop at Starved rack in Ottawa IL.
I love doing these pick up trips. However, I recently had a car shipped from Florida. Cost me and the wife $700 bucks or so to go get it but required three days of travel. However, it was delivered for $600. An honest professional carrier with a 9 car unit. Saved me a lot of time.
That said, I'm leaving in a week for Eastern PA to pick up a machine. Two days there and one day back. The boss has plans to sight see and perhaps visit a vendor in Philly.
Call me crazy but I like to travel.

I was pretty confident that the vehicle seller was honest and candid. Vehicle shipping was clearly my biggest concern with my SRT6 purchase.
Re: Car transport
I just left a message for Direct Motor Lines. We'll see if they return my call. Seems like it's a bit easier to transport from the south. Mine is coming from Montana. I'd like to avoid the brokers if I can as that seems to be where most of the problems are.
Where in MI are you? I'm a yooper. Looking forward to being a xf owner.
Thanks for the reply, Dave

Re: Car transport
I like to travel too and would be more inclined to to that. However, we drove 3 days on our way back north from FL just a few weeks ago and are leaving on a 10 road trip in a week, so taking another 2+ day drive is not so appealing right now. Thanks for the feedback, Dave
