What are the guidelines for having a car shipped after purchase? Are there preferred companies to use, expected costs, enclosed transport vs open, etc. How do people do this? Seems like an ordinary event from a lot of the sold posts I've seen. Trying some the shipping calculators but most are for passenger cars.
Getting back into racing after a long while and am in Southern California and am looking for a local older car - FV, FF, FC. The FF I had before was local and I never entertained buying a car in another state and having it shipped. But my search for a local car on the west coast hasn't been fruitful yet, and most deals I see are mid west to east coast and am wondering if finding a good car 2000 miles away for example and having it shipped would be worth it. I see posts that have sold saying "the car's going Texas, or Florida", or where ever frequently. Are all shipping deals one off's, or are there industry preferred shippers? Looking for a deal on a car this side of 20K and see if I should stay local and wait or cast a bigger net and have it shipped.
Thanks
