Find a local specialty dealer (someone that sells vintage, or specialty cars) and ask them who they use... Most of the time you can save good $$$ that way... Other than that get a Hemmings motor news, I have had great luck... Your most likely looking at $450 for the private guy to $750. Also the specialty guys might be able to get it to you sooner depending on if you are in a "big" city or not... We had a car go from Seattle, WA to Denver, CO... Took 4 days and cost a bit over $350 - thats 1500+ miles...

Anyway, hope that helps...

I am on a business trip, and while I am here, I am going to look at an 735i 5-speed, exactly the color I wanted and everything. I have never dealt with shipping a car, and if I decide to get it, I may have it shipped back home. Could any one give me some advice or what to expect as far as fees, what to ask for, etc. Like I said, I know nothing about it, and I don't want to be overcharged or taken advantage of. The distance will be about 750 miles. Thanks in advance!!!!
