Re: Buying and shipping cars from craigslist

Thanks for all of your advice guys. As it is I don't know how anyone can complete a deal through craigslist from a distance without having a middle man there to see the car and insure it ships.

That being said, I contacted the seller of the car I am interested in. Wonderful guy and willing to work with me. We mutually decided to go through ebay for both of our protection.

Next hurdle is shipping companies. I have been learning about it and there are the actual shipping companies and then brokers. Can any of you add your input into the shipping end of the transaction? What to look for? Things to avoid? Companies you can recommend that are reasonable and trustworthy? I am sure I will need an open carrier because of the cost.
