Enclosed or Open Transport..?

Feb 14 I was the successful bidder on Bring a Trailer for a 1972 Mercedes Benz. The car was in Phoenix and I'm in western Pa. It's a truly beautiful car. I had no experience moving a car that far so I started searching on line. Montway Transport is a broker. You pay the fee and they find you a shipper. Just about anyone you talk with is a broker. I ended up using Ship a Car Direct. Very good reviews and so easy to work with. They worked with the seller to schedule the pickup. The car was picked up on a Thursday and I had it in my garage that Monday afternoon. $1525.00 in an enclosed truck. Driver kept me updated all the way across the country and the car arrived in perfect condition. No way would I ship a car on an open trailer, especially this time of year. Hope this helps you in your move.

I had my 986 shipped to me (first time doing so) on an open trailer early April of last year. I’d pay the extra next time for an enclosed trailer. It was an absolute mess when received. If you choose enclosed transport, not only will it be clean on delivery, it will be protected from anything else during the entire trip.

Thank you guys for the comments, the car will definitely be shipped on the enclosed trailer.
So far I received two quotes, one for $1,500 and the other one for $1,800 I have not got the quote from the dealer yet.
