Going to be a move from North Carolina to California next year. Was wondering what I should plan on spending / saving. Cars probably only worth $2k ish when I'm done with the work, but the cheapeast car is one you already own? and I like it.. Would be going through USHIP.
When I was shopping for transporting cars from NC -> CA earlier this year, quotes came in around 50 cents a mile for open, double that for enclosed. I suspect it's dominated by fuel costs.
damn :( Were those from USHIP? Sometimes you can get lucky and find a redneck with a trailer thats going somewhere.
In the past year I have shipped 3 cars over 1000 miles each move. Two through Uship, one through a broker. All at about 50 cents per mile.
Hmm well the idea now of taking both my car (300k mile Volvo 240) and my girlfriends car (scion xa 180k mile) and just hoping at least one makes it is sounding like a better idea...
If you become a resident of California, your cars will need to pass California inspection to keep them on the road.
If you sell your current car in California, it will need to pass California inspection before selling it.
Will your current car pass California inspection?

Hmm, right been thinking about this. I think so? It has stock Catalytic Converter. Nothing has been modified. I guess they check co2 emissions? On a 300k mile 14 year old car I'm not sure how clean the exhaust would be...
If you sell and then buy in Kalifonia, you will probalby get a nicer, RUST free car.

Yea, thought about thst.. My car has no rust and the effort of shopping is pretty hectic when moving to a new place for the first time, especially California. (Especially when what you want, is Volvo 240 sedan, is fairly common but still something you gotta hunt). Something to consider..
Paid $1k from Sacramento to south Florida last month. Open carrier.
I want to say the name of the shipping company was Cross Country. I can check the receipt tonight.

Ok cool. I can swing a grand even though I only paid $1,400k for the car. But the comfort of knowing I have a working car and a mechanical history I know is probably worth it to me.. I gotta investigate what type of inspections they gonna do on the car so maybe I can get any speed bumps that might pop up done now.
