Yes, - I went with the deluxe maintanence package - however only chains 4 and 5 had to be changed - also did the wear pads.

I was planning on using DeMoise (awesome price, awesome recommendation from a friend) but they won't have a truck in Northern California until the end of the month!
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was planning on using DeMoise (awesome price, awesome recommendation from a friend) but they won't have a truck in Northern California until the end of the month! Yikes!
I've read a lot of opinions on Rennlist. Some say Intercity is great. Others not so much. Same is true for a number of others. Any recent experiences -- definite companies to avoid?
Sunday was expensive. A friend recommended AutoBahnUSA based on his use of them on multiple occasions but they were also a little high. I got a great quote from Victory Auto Transport...but who the hell are they?! lol

- PPI Done.
- Payment Sent.
- Seller should receive the wire tomorrow and just needs to confirm.
- I've got scanned copies of the completed and signed copies of the Bill of Sale, Title and Escrow Agreement.
- The car has also been serviced (oil/filter changed, brake fluid flushed, bulb replaced) and is ready for me/shipper to pick it up!
The seller has already called about a couple of follow up items since I sent the wire. The escrow attorney has also reached out so, yes, other than shipping it's done. I hope. lol

I just shipped my car from Rhode Island to Flat 6 Innovations in Cleveland, GA. I turns out to be 1038 miles or so. I paid 610 each way - the carrier on the way down there was enclosed, but the returning one was exposed to highway chafee like dead bugs and road grime - nothing a good car was doesn't clean up.
If you want contact info for this shipper let me know.
I had the IMSR procedure done there as well as some other new internal parts "since you are in there" type things like a new clutch, installing an over-engineered IMS ceramic setup from LN Engineering, water pump, AOS, Variocam Wear Pads, 2 variocam chains, and all fluids changed. I enjoyed my Flat 6 experience.

Do not use Dependable Auto Shippers.
I'd recommend flying out and driving it home. I drove mine roughly 2,200 miles home when I bought it. It was awesome.
I would LOVE to drive it if I had the time. I really wish DeMoise was an option but I just can't wait until the 25th for a chance to ship the car. I've waited long enough and I can't imagine the dealership agreeing to have it on their lot for another 2-3 weeks.
-Eric
The thing is that many (most?, all?) shippers use independent contractors to do the hauling, so there is a pot luck factor. I had mine delivered from So. Cal. to WV by DAS. It was the best price and worked out really well (although apparently not for Dennis). I could see the progrss of the trip via internet; they apparently used two drivers because it was on the move nearly continuously and showed up really fast in perfect shape. The are lots of reviews for shippers, really mixed bag, on the web. One quick tip - check with your insurance agent & if you have coverage, don't pay extra for the shipper's. Good luck.
It's done....because of Pebble Beach and all of the car stuff going on in California this month, the carriers are all booked. I went with a recommendation from a dealer friend who suggested AutoBahn USA. They were a little more expensive than DeMoise and less than Intercity but they can pick up the car this week...unlike any of the others who can't get to it until the 25th or later.

Steve,
Did jake recommend to have the variocam wear pads and chains replaced at the same time of the bearin upgrade? Man, I'll need to asak the indy about that when he gets to replacing mine.. How many miles on yours and did you have to replace the flywheel as well?
Yes, - I went with the deluxe maintanence package - however only chains 4 and 5 had to be changed - also did the wear pads. They replace the clutch as part of the procedure (not optional) - no flywheel change was made. My car had 12K when I bought it 2 years ago, and has 19K on it now. They also did water pump, 6 spark plugs, oil change obviously, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, AOS replaced, a new set of lifters (mine were slightly noisy).

Just a thought, but you might consider the available space where you are having the car delivered. Because of the type of carrier he had, when mine showed up the driver needed a parking lot sized area to angle the rear trailer and get access to my car in the front trailer.
And don't expect the car to arrive exactly on time... patience is a virtue here.
My driveway is barely the width of the trailer and its about 130yds long. I don't expect the transporter to drop off at my door. I am, however, 4 miles from I-95 and 3 miles from a Walmart parking lot.
There should be more than enough room for him to do a drop-off.
Patience? What's that?!
-Eric
Well, I spoke to the carrier this morning and he confirmed that it's scheduled to be picked up from the dealer today and should be here within about a week!
-Eric
Yeah, but Intercity can't move a car in CA until around the last week of August. Also, Autobahn USA's quote includes all charges. I got a lower quote from Intercity as well but after they added in their "fuel surcharge" the total price was basically the same.
-Eric
The car is confirmed on the truck and on its way to CT!
Jeremy DeFrisco and the rest of the folks at Stevens Creek Porsche were awesome, btw. Everyone was very communicative, helpful and professional. Using them for the PPI and subsequent service was great.
Now I just have to wait...patiently...about a week.
In the meantime, I'll check out some more goodies for when the car arrives! lol
-Eric
You should really check out
http://autotransport.instapage.com
they send you actual prices truckers are accepting for picking up and delivering cars along the same or similar route. I thought it was a good resource to check out. At the very least you can use it as comparison. Good Luck.
WOW! Blast from the past! FWIW, I had a great experience with my carrier despite later learning more that may have sent me in a different direction. Oh, and I still have my car and love it more and more every day!
Good luck with whatever you are looking to ship!
