Default Car Mover Reccomendations?

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you know of a reliable car moving company to move a car from Los Angeles to Dallas. We used one last time in Mequite but I can't remember the name and it was around 600 bucks open trailer with a transit time of about a week. I'm looking for something similar, obviously the less expensive the better.

Thanks,

Joseph

Bought an LE, eh? How many miles?

Ask POS on the Miata board. He used a service with an open hauler a year or two ago to bring his '67 Caddy home from up north. I know he shopped around for awhile, and I think he was happy with the service.

Yep, high miles but it was taken care of pretty well overall. Timing belt/waterpump etc was done recently. Has some gear whine in 1-3 gears but shifts fine is the only main thing. The 40 year old lady that owned it replaced it with a 10AE so this one had to go.

Nice little car. Joseph, is this for auto-x, tracking, or just as a cheaper daily driver?

After looking at it I remember seeing that car in the showrooms when I was a kid. We used to get out Mazda truck serviced at big billy barrett mazda. I had no Idea that little car was so rare. No I'm anxious to see it!

I think I'm gonna end up using DAS, it's about 500-600 through them. Hopefully should be shipped out sometime this week and get to Dallas in the next week or two.

The current plans are just to daily drive it, the RX-8 is already set up to autocross and I just need a gas sipper. Got tired of paying 40+ bucks to drive 240 miles in the RX-8.
