Hey all, hope this is the right place to ask since this will be my first time shipping a car. I've located a dealership with the Type R I want. It's in Mississippi. First time purchasing a car from so far, but also don't want to drive it back cause it's like 12 hours. Wondering if anyone has any recommendation on shipping companies that'll get the car from there and to my place safely?

I guess I'd like to also see how much it'd cost.

Thanks in advance!

I don't have to ship anymore

I recently snagged a sweet ride from a dealership down in Texas, and I was in the same boat about shipping. After some digging, I stumbled upon this site called A1 Auto Transport. They hooked me up with some free quotes and made the whole process a breeze, check out www.a1autotransport.com/rate-quote/. I was a bit skeptical at first, being new to this forum and all, but the community came through with some solid recommendations. Just make sure to do your own research too, ya know? Better safe than sorry.

I've shipped a lot of cars and I'll tell you 2 of the most important things I've learned
1. Put it on your insurance before it gets picked up because if something happens the shipper's insurance company will pull every trick in the book to get out of covering a claim
2. Ship enclosed (unless it's a POS project car). You'd be surprised at how much less of an increase in price it is and often the guys hauling enclosed only haul 2 or maybe 3 at a time. They'll get to you faster and are usually more communicative.

I drove my type R 8.5 hours back home from Ohio and it was a great experience getting familiar with the car and also knocking out the break in miles.

First type R i did this. With my 21'. I went to Cincinnati for my recent one. I got lucky. Only put 280 so far. Since weather is nice I'm gonna try to break it in more.
