    Kinda depends on the distance you need it hauled. There are thousands of companies out there that transport cars. Just need to find the one that is going from where your car is to you at the right time with a load of others and it gets the price down. Also depends on how nice of a car you are buying. A real show winner should be enclosed and protected well and that costs money. Also a wise investment vs. the repairs from rocks and road debris. If it is a project, than maybe one of the guys with a dually pickup and an open trailer will do it cheap. Good luck!

    Wow, your only 14 and you hate traveling? Any real car guy would drive 12hrs straight to get a car worth getting.390 miles is nothing, I drove 2 days just to get half a car!

    There's a place in Lake Stevens, Washington. I don't recall there name. They are on the internet. Do a search of auto shippers. They shipped a Comet GT from Seattle to Ohio for around $900.....
