Have purchased a vehicle in the desert and need to have it transported. Anyone up for a road trip to Big Sky?

Anyone in the know have a solid idea of the cost of such a transport?

Thanks guys.

It’s been a while since I had a car shipped and the price of gas is…well you know but I would guess in the ballpark of $2.00 to $2.50 per mile.

Do you need to have it shipped in an enclosed trailer or will an open deck work?

Can't you fly there and drive it back?


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

If memory serves, if you do that then you'd have to pay AZ sales tax. Having it shipped = no sales tax.

Thanks,

1200 miles @ $2.50 per = $3000 (or More) Shipped

How much Tax

Would that only be from a dealer? Or a private sale too? OP doesn't specify which.

seller got me a quote of $2k. Was hoping for $1500. But maybe that is not terrible.

I think that’s pretty solid with today’s fuel pricing with what I’ve been finding lately for vehicle transport costs. Probably could have shipped $1k-$1500 a year ago.
