Hey all - any recommendations on potential Vanagon transport from Wichita KS area to RI? Trying to get my new-to-me tintop in good form again, but if the simple stuff doesn't work I may have to throw in the towel. It is able to drive onto trailer. Not in a huge rush if I can find someone local to allow me to park the van and help out with handing off keys to the transport service (I'd need to fly back home to RI).
Got a quote from Montway for around $1600. Similar to Uhaul truck + trailer, but the latter would also include gas.
Thanks! |
Try Jeff at 4 corners, I've been using him for years, Ijust booked a van from WIsconsin to New Jersey and his price was very good |

Wow, doubled?
I'm looking for a roundtrip flight to California. The prices range from 1.3K to 3.5K Newark Liberty to San Jose . I'm speechless.

This sounds like it could be a scam.
Scammers often say they can handle the shipping themselves when really it's them stealing money for the "shipment"
I would deal with any shipment company directly yourself once you have made a car deal.
Is it a car on the site?
Email me with the details if you want to review it, in case the car itself is a scam.
My direct email is below.
Is it this car?
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2534359
This person looks valid as they have been on the site a long time but that is strange about the shipping. I don't know how they would know how to handle shipping from Texas to Canada. _________________ How to Post Photos

I am looking for help with a question about buying a car and getting it shipped to me. I received an email from a seller with an invoice from a transport company UTL Total Logistics. I am not sure what guarantee I have by sending an e transfer before getting the car shipped and if it is a scam? I am looking for information on what options I have? |

I bought 2 together in 2020 one had old registration and the other only had bill of sale, but i had a shipper import them for me then..so I thought it'd be the same.. but I guess I got lucky? So there's no way around it? How do people import scrap metal? Do you need a title for rusty metal? |

You basically bought a vehicle with an open title.
Never buy a vehicle with an open title.
Never buy any vehicle outside the lower 48 states
without checking first to see if it can be imported.
If the Seller won’t refund your money
you are going to have to sell it it Canada
or walk away from it and consider this
a lesson learned.
Attempting to cross the border illegally with
it is only going to cost you more time and money. _________________ Jim is on the road @ http://www.trulyvintagetrailers.citymax.com/trulyvintage-feedback.html |

So I bought a bus from a Canadian that has old registration from 1978 and a bill of sale. How do I import it to the US? I tried towing it across myself and they turned me around saying there is no proof of the previous owner buying it from the last registered owner on the 1978 registration.. is there a way around all that? Like importing it as scrap? Or should I just try it again hiding the old registration in hopes of not getting a hardass officer like before? I need to do something soon as it's getting expensive having it in storage.. |

My recent transport experience involved sending 3 vehicles and a camper just short of 2000 miles. Jeff at Four Corners Transport posted my loading and was easy to reach and helpful.
I cannot say enough good about Dustin Huffman transport! Dustin hauled my f250, '71bug, '66 bus and my 13' camper all together! If you get lucky enough to hire him, all will be smooth going. He is MI or OK based, sort of, but gets everywhere. _________________ "A life of peace and happiness depends on your own gratefulness" |

I'd also like to recommend Jeff at 4 Corners Auto Transport, he's responsive, straight forward, friendly and had the best quote. Excellent communication. I trust this guy to get the job done right. _________________ **SUPPORT THE SAMBA**

I saw a post by Notchboy on the previous page, PMd you.
I’m looking for a similar route as his shipment for my 71’ Audi 100, from Spokane WA to Irvine CA, i’m paying $900 for the car, so I’m looking for the cheapest option for the not running (but rolling) car. Anyone have recommendations? Maybe pairing the two cars together since it’s a very similar route for the cheapest option for both Jason and I? Thanks |
