Default Shipping a car

Anyone know of any companies that i would be able to use, or what i should expect to pay. I'm about to buy a 2004 suzuka blue S2000 at a redicoulsy low price in Arizona, so i was considering shipping it back to New York. If worse came to worse i was thinking about flying down their and driving it back and stopping by some dealerships on the way back to try and sell it. anyways what should be expected. thanks

I had My S shipped from Wichita, KS to Pittsburg, PA for $500. Open car hauler. No problems at all. Pretty reasonable. The name of the company was Worldwide, they are a division of Bekins that specialize in car hauling.

there are many of places - shouldn't expect to pay too much, and it should take about a week or so. my 4Runner was shipped from VA to CA in about a week. of course - the carrier had to make some pickups and drop offs along the way, and truck (Black) looked like crap when I got it (went through a snowstorm) but everything checked out ok.

Have I got a deal for you! If you pay for a plane ticket from my house to the dealer, a ticket from your house to my house, and pay for gas, I'll pay you 20 bucks to let me "deliver" it.
