My area is hard to get any transport because there are not as many special interest vehicles maybe that might have something to do with the cost. Price in an enclosed are more. I will be doing the transport down there unless I decide to sell it via P car or B&T, but it can get brutal there with people's comments so that is weighing on me as to which way to go. I guess I could go internet and then take it to Autokennel.
My wife feels I should try AZ instead. Decision decision.

May want to factor Covid-19 into the equation. AZ is HOT!

Yes.

I just got a car from Vegas to rural NoCo end of last week. $900 through Pelican Jiseph Jakubus.

Can you give me a link? I put Jiseph Jakubus in the search and didn't come up with anything.
Curious what he will tell me. My experience has been alot of crickets, nobody wants to come up here for just one vehicle.

Joseph. Sorry, fat finger. I'll try to remember to post full contact later. He's Midwest based but frequently runs south to FL and west to CA/AZ. He's a 2 car trailer so needs to line up all the various parties before he goes on a run. But covered transport and great care for your vehicles. No games. Price is the price

from my perspective cars being sold through autokennel are always priced to sell which is not always the best for the seller, depending on circumstances of course. I literally think if Autokennel changed their model to sell exclusively on BAT they would yield a minimum of 20% more on their sales prices. OP check your PMs.

Thanks, found him and have asked for a quote.

I have talked to him and he didn't see a problem with my asking price. I mentioned in my original post that dealers will say that "your vehicle has been sitting in our show room and in order to move it you should accept the offer of the last person interested in your car".
But from the feed back I have heard here that Auto Kennel are trust worthy and I like the suggestion of having the dealer ship the car back home if they can't get my price.

He considers my area "the dead zone" for transporters "meaning there's nothing else in that area to build a load, so consider paying a higher price". Might be able to do it but might cost more if his truck is empty.

Consignment shop is an obsolete model.
They now sell everything online.
There is no such thing as foot traffic in vintage car sales.

Disintermediation has been the new economy for 2 decades now.

Sell it online.
Buyer is responsible for paying the shipping of the car.

Will be doing BAT, if that doesn't work out, then off to consign.
