You can usually ship cross counrty to the tune of about $500. If the deal's that great, you can sometime factor in the shipping costs... $5000 + $500 shipping is still a decent deal on a $7000 car, for example.

BOO · 2003-08-28, 08:17 AM

Exactly !! sometimes... The best deals are in bigger metropolitan areas.. so it just depends on what you want and HOW bad you want it ..

BOO · 2003-08-28, 08:18 AM

Remember, Florida is where I purchased my SUPRA TT..

STIwish · 2003-08-28, 03:19 PM

$500 to ship it? damn.. i didnt know that... GET IT NOW!!

ShawnS · 2003-08-28, 10:47 PM

Its more in the range of a $1000. I already got a quote. I am not to sure I want a car from the east coast. I heard rust becomes a problem after a while.

BOO · 2003-08-29, 06:36 AM

Hmmm, Well I guess I lucked out then cause Mine Never had rust ...
Well either way.. I will continue to keep my eye out for you .

You also got yours from Florida, where it doesn't get cold... I think the problem is mostly in the northeast where it snows in the winter.. it's wet all the time and they salt the roads for traction, so cars get a lot more rust than say in California.

The problem with FL cars... is if they were New England cars 1st, then they're fucked. Like Austin said, all the winter salt in NE rusts cars, but usually it's so cold when the salt's out that the salt water and snow stays pretty much frozen on the car and doesn't rust (ppl that park in a garage actually get more rust than ppl that leave their cars outside!) However a car that's got a little NE rust on it that moves to FL rusts out quick since it's so humid there year around.

Forget it guys. I cant get another car. I only have $1500 left. The original plan was to have a substitution of calateral. The other guys insurance would have paid me for what the car is worth if it were to sell on a dealership lot. Then use that money to find another car around the same price and buy it out-right. Then after all that, just change the VIN # on the original loan for my Prelude and keep making the same payments, just on another car. Ford credit service(the people that told me I could do this) told me today that I cant do this now because I dont qualify. What they forgot to tell me the first time I talked to them is that to qualify, I have to buy from a dealership, the car has to be a lemon, and it can't be used. Apparently, the person I talked to didnt have the authorization to advise me the first time.

So now I am shit out of luck.

so you have only 1,500 bills from the wreck? But were you able to pay off the loan on the prelude? If so, then use that as a downpayment on another car maybe? Try going for another loan through a dealership...and maybe a co-signer may help.

Shitty luck. Sorry man.
