I'm not in any big hurry but I rather have the car sit in my garage than in some dealerships back lot.

For the folks still following my saga... All is done, the car is now officially mine and can be picked up. However, due to the Thanksgiving holidays and all, the dealer can only secure one shipper that will do the deed for $750 to SoCal. This is after I started shopping for a shipper myself this morning and found one via Goldwing that will pick up this Sat for $575. Not quite as low as some quotes I received in the $400s but certainly not as high as DAS and all of the enclosed transporters. Some carriers have GPS trackers so you can see where and when your baby is and coming. With my shipper, I minimally have his cell phone. Enclosed is nice but this is no Enzo and besides, the cars were shipped to the dealer in open carriers anyways. Alan at Goldwing sent over the Order Form, the shipper's contact nos, the shipper's DOT cert, insurance cert and info and tax info. He then charged me $125 deposit over the phone with the remaining $450 to be exchanged during delivery on Tues or Weds. BTW, here's a money saving tip. Because adding a car to a insurance policy is automatic coverage for the first 30 days, I delayed adding it to the policy for a few weeks or so or at least I register the car with DMV. Thus saving a month worth of premium. Onwards !
