Just be careful getting shipping quotes for any vehicle. There are a lot of sites that you can ask for a quote and you'll get some interesting numbers. Half of the "shipping companies" actually just farm it out to whoever will do it cheaper and you can end up with a real POS company hauling it. NJ to TX should easily cost $750 by a reputable company on a car. If you want enclosed, the price goes up. CA to NJ enclosed is probably $1500 minimum but you get a quality company that won't mess up your vehicle. I think I paid around $750 for that L78 Camaro coming from Ontario but they were highly recommended and they were real pros. And the truck driver told me most of the cars were rejected at the border for bad paperwork or did not pass inspection. I've seen cheap haulers put magnetic "trailer" lights on the back of the car for brake lights. The 1968 Camaro I had shipped from OK came in covered in oil because the POS Jeep Cherokee above it on the trailer leaked the whole way through a rain storm! The Ebay shipping quote thing is not something you want to even think about. Your best bet is to ask for recommendations or even get someone you know that is willing to do it for a realistic fee. Buying local can really save all the hassles though.

if you ship through the guy that parks his trucks next to mine youll get your bike or car beat the **** out of by his 15 year old son before delivery :)

I bought my Camaro on ebay and had it shipped up from Florida using the ebay shipper link. It was like $700 and all was fine.

Aside from the whole eBay quote process, does anyone have any actual recommendations for companies to use?

FedEx Custom Critical does a fantastic job. I had a car shipped from Sandusky OH to Flemington NJ, and while it was not cheap they were rock solid. Huge enclosed trailers, very experienced drivers (who you got the cell # for) and so forth. The only downside is that the trailer is too long for a lot of places so you have to offload the car in a large parking lot or something like that.

They were long hauling from pebble beach when I used them, which says something in itself.

I used Intercity Lines I think it was for one of my cars. Enclosed trailer coming from CA in the middle of winter. Now that we're going into severe weather season, going enclosed may be a safer bet even if it costs more, but it obviously depends on what condition the vehicle is in to begin with.

The cost to ship is almost as much as it would be to drive once you factor in gas, lodging & food. Plus shipping will save you 3,000+ miles of excessive wear off the car.

I'm still working out the details, right now my work schedule is pretty hectic since I go back to the States.

I used DAS to ship a 93 trans am from linden NJ to Minnesota, cost around 700, that was 6 years ago.
Also brought my friends fox body mustang to the same Linden terminal to ship it out, Once again no issues.
