    Buying another F430 Spider, Love these cars need to find a shipper that can go from St Louis MO to Beverly Hills, CA. Does anyone know of a trustworthy, reasonable company? Please provide names and numbers.

    It might be worth your while looking up last week's trucking thread or the any of the many previous ones - its a popular question

    Search here. There are some threads on it. Then call and get lots of quotes b/c they can vary in price a lot, and some shippers only run certain routes. Roughly, $1 a mile for enclosed shipping is the best you can do and what I just paid for Dallas to Columbus, OH.

    I have been very happy with Intercity, not sure where they fall in the price category, but service and vehicle safety are great.

    A big +1 on that.

    FedEx also has done an exceptional job for me, as has Passport Transport in the past.

    IIRC, FedEx no longer ships cars themselves and the phone number listed on thier website takes you to Passport Transport now.

    My recommendation is make sure you deal with a large company and not a broker.... I had a broker ship my RR SC and while there was no damage it wasn't the red carpet service I was expecting

    Paul from LG logistics that a fantastic job with our FOG cars. We shipped close to 30 cars with him and they all came back spotless....
    He always answers his phone. One of my favorite qualities.

    +1 - He has a new toy of mine on his truck now - always answers his phone and doesn't play games - not common in this business.

    Cheapest and best would be to buy a One way ticket to ST Louis and drive her back home. A lifetime of memories that would leave endless smiles :) :) :)

    Cheers !!
