I do not have all of the information you requested. I do know that the car was picked up in Flushing, NY on 10/8, driven to JFK and supposedly shipped on 10/9. It arrived in Ft. Lauderdale on 10/13 and was delivered to him the same day. The shipper was a company from Long Island, whose name I don't know. After speaking with my father-in-law, he said that he doesn't remember anything about paperwork being given to him, only that a few hours after the car was delivered, he noticed the mileage discrepancy. At this point he is not going to pursue thisany further, but I was just curious about the procedures these companies used. I am gong to suggest that he call Dash Auto Transport in the spring when he comes back up North. Thanks for your time in answering my question. Phil |

Does anyone know of a site where I can search for a particular make/model across the inventories of many dealers? For example, say I'm loooking for a red Dakota with bucket seats and a split rear window. Rather than go through each dealer site looking for that vehicle, is there a place where I can search all dealers at once? Thanks.

Replying to: db4 (Feb 17, 2005 11:49 am) I checked out some other companies, and talked to some people, but these folks just seemed really nice. They explained that if the car is damaged by their driver (gettig the car on/off the bed), it's covered by their insurance. If it's damaged by something like hail, you have to go through your insurance. If damaged by something like a piece coming off another car, or where it's debatable whether it's the driver's fault or not, then there might be disagreement as to how to handle it. as far as open v closed, I opted for open, mainly b/c of $$$$ and the fact that the drive from Southern California to Midwestern FL is not that treacherous. If it was winter and the car was going through some of the colder climates with ice and stuff, that might affect my decision. |

Replying to: db4 (May 07, 2005 7:37 am) want to warn of possible fraudulent nature of this company. I am their client since January of 2005. They promised to ship a car in February 1, 2005. Then they give confusing information regarding status of my order. Finally, they disconnect their telephone each time when I try to ask about status of my order. |

Replying to: kirstie_h (May 09, 2005 8:21 am) There's always risk involved, so don't hesitate to contact the better business beaureau, too. With my company (I forgot their name, but I posted it earlier on this board), even though I felt comfortable, I opted to pay in cash after delivery b/c they only take credit cards (my preference) if you pay before delivery. I definitely didn't want them to have my money before I had the car (of course, the car is worhte a lot more than their costs, but still...). |
