Shipping a 2015 FRS TRD
TL:RD
Will a 2015 TRD 1.0 body-kit equipped car be damaged by a "semi truck style" car hauler? Car is 1500 miles away, shipping may be easier than driving home. Hi, new to the forum here, just wanted some feed back from anyone here with more experience than me. I've been looking at getting into one of these cars for the last 8 years, and a friend of mine gave me a lead on a 2015 Release Series TRD for a decent price (at least recently). Only one problem, the car is 1500 miles away from me. I've been looking into auto transports, and I noticed that prices go from $800 for the semi truck style haulers, to $2600 for an enclosed trailer with a lift ramp. I sat down and did the math, short version is I really wouldn't want to spend nearly $3k on a transport. I can fly out and drive the car back for about $800 (the same as a car hauler). The way I figure, if it costs the same, might as well pay for the $800 hauler. But I'm concerned that the body kit will be torn off on the semi trailer style haulers. While I can do a 1500 mile road trip, and it would be fun on it's own merit, it still would be a bit rough, and it would take 2 days to do it. Thoughts? |
