Hi Rex, Congratulations on finding "your" Westy! And.....you're gonna love this list! > Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 19:51:31 EST > From: Rex Hargrove <rxrgrove@HOTMAIL.COM> > Subject: Buying and transporting a Westy? (longish) > > Does anyone know the cost of shipping a van 688 miles(or around that), > or have alternative suggestions? I just went through this for over a month. Same scenario-it was in Florida I needed it to go to NE Iowa. I had 2 people that were going to bring it back for me and both bailed at the last minute AFTER receiving the money. I finally quite fooling around and paid a professional transportation service to get it home. Big $$$$!! But it was worth it. Wish I would have done that in the first place. Me driving 1200 miles alone was not an option. 600 mile and I would have considered seriously flying down to get it. > Shipping it will run you about $450. If you can (or Todd knows someone) that with ship it for that kind of money, right now with the gas prices so high---Jump on it quick before they change their mind!!! Because everyone else will be about double. Good luck and hope you get it home soon,! Say Volks, I'm looking to buy the plastic end caps for the rear bumper of an 84 Westy and an exterior door handle. Any one on the list or know someone that would like to sell for a reasonable price? Cheers, Katy 84 Westy |
