Default Who should I have ship my S2000?!

Does anyone know who would be best to ship my S2000 through? Since it is low I would think that not everyone could ship it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just make sure your shipper is well insured, picture document the car and give a copy to the shipper before shipment. That's all the advice I can give you.

I used Angels Movin Autos to ship. Open carrier, so it depends on what you want. The STi is low too and they didnt have a problem. They charged me a little more since they put it in a spot where it wouldnt have to be continually loaded and unloaded. Just loaded and then unloaded when it got to me.

Yeah, I don't think that the future buyer wants to take any chances with the shipping so I would think that it would be best to find someone who is reputable and specializes in car that are going to have less ground clearance.

Call them. They will tell you how much ground clearance you need to have. So what are you going to buy?

I'm still shocked that this car's already been sold.

It is not sold yet, but it is in the process.

I wonder if you should get some of the notorious spring spacers and install them before shipping. At least that will give you more height during loading/offloading.

I had my '06 shipped also. I went with Weston Import Transportation. They have insurance for each car and the driver's truck is insured also. They were great with communication on the phone. They called me when the car was picked up and they call me when the car would about 6 hours out then 30 mins out.

The guy was really careful with my car. I checked underneath the front bumper...no scratches at all, since this was the lowest point of the car.

Check with different carriers, BE CAREFUL with the less expensive ones.
