Good Morning: This is Don from Horizon Trucking. I bid yesterday on transporting the MG to California. We have one spot left on our trip leaving right after the new year, and I can offer a better price than I quoted if we can get this to work for both of us. We have decades of experience with antiques and classic cars. We show up when we say, and deliver promptly and safely. I am willing to bid $1500 - which is a great price for enclosed transportation coast to coast - if you can have it ready in early January. Please let me know, and I look forward to hopefully working together. Regards. DonReport a Violation
Response: Hi Don, The MG to be transported does not run. In fact, it is in pieces with a chassis that rolls, might not steer and probably doesn't brake. The fenders, hood, running boards and doors have been removed and will have to be shipped with the chassis. There are also several boxes and containers full of parts. Do you think that you can deliver all of this stuff and get it to me In California without anything missing? Thanks12/16/2008Report a Violation
Response: : We absolutely can. It is just the parts from the original car - not extra duplicate parts I assume? It's always easier when it is in one piece, but approximately 5% of our customer's cars ship partially disassembled, so we can handle it. We have a single car enclosed trailer too, but I can't imagine how anyone could match a multicar transporter for a west coast trip on price - you just couldn't get enough money for one car each way to make it worthwhile - but that is just my opinion of course. I hope we can have the opportunity to work with you on this haul. Thanks for replying. Don12/17/2008Report a Violation
Response: Thanks for your reply. As I mentioned, this car is in pieces. It is a pretty rare auto and therefore I can't afford to have any of the parts go missing on transport as I would not be able to replace them. Your price is good but on multi car transports with the shuffling around of cars I fear for lost parts. The seller is preparing the car to ship to me. It might take him some time. I know you mentioned that you will make a load on Jan. 2 I am not sure he will have everything ready.12/17/2008Report a Violation
Response: : As I mentioned, the parts are not a problem. We don't swap cars around into other trucks or anything like that. Either myself or my father drives the truck, will pick up the car and parts, and deliver without further transfers etc. We've never had a problem with lost parts or anything like that. We do west coast trips once every six weeks. If you are talking one or two day delay we may be able to wait. Or we can work with you on our next trip. Thanks for all the communication and let me know. Regards. Don Descoteaux12/19/2008Report a Violation
Response: Don, Thanks for the information. I have not heard from the seller in a couple of weeks so I doubt if he will have the car and all the parts ready to be shipped by Jan. 2nd. I will contact him by email and get back to you. If he is not ready, when is your next trip to the west coast? Another question, when you give me a date for picking up the car, are you good for that day or is it a three day window? I ask because this seller is busy in his business and wants a pickup date firm so that he does not have to wait around. Thanks 12/19/2008Report a Violation
Response: : Our next trip will be mid to end of February. We can give a very accurate date for pickup - that shouldn't be a problem. We were off for a few days for the Holidays, but I'm out gathering up cars for this next trip. I believe there is still a spot left so let me know if anything changes. As of right now, we would be able to pickup as late as Jan 6 or 7, or I'll just rebid on our next trip if we can't do this one. Thanks and Happy Holidays. Don12/26/2008Report a Violation
Response: Thanks Don. I am at the mercy of the sellers time frame. I doubt that he will have the car ready by early Jan. The Feb trip would be more realistic. I will keep you posted. Dave12/26/2008Report a Violation

Just following up on your listing. We're still available according to your timeframe with minimal advance notice for $2841.66. Single car enclosed trailer. Bid price includes insurance and all costs associated with the shipment. No hidden fees. We have 100% positive customer feedback on over 200 uship transactions. This will be straight away delivery after pick up (6-8 days) and your MG will be the only item in the trailer. I will personally be handling this shipment and guarantee everything will arrive safely. Our trailer is equipped with an electric winch and low profile rear ramp door for damage free loading and unloading. If you like I can place the bid and we can proceed from there getting the MG to you as soon as it is ready to go. Pls feel free to ask any and all questions you might have, I will answer them honestly and promptly. Thanks, ChrisL.Report a Violation
Response: Thanks for your bid. Just to be clear on the shipment, the MG is in pieces. The current owner started a renovation, but has lost interest. The car chassis rolls, but may or might not steer. The fenders,doors, bumpers running boards. hood, radiator and numerous other parts are loose with lots of boxes to be shipped with the chassis. Since it is a rare car, parts are difficult to find, therefore it is important to me that nothing gets lost in the shipment. Is this the type of job that you want? Have you done similar types of shipments? Many thanks, Dave12/21/2008Report a Violation
Response: : Dave, thanks for the reply. Yes we can complete this for you. This type of shipment is our specialty. Pls take a few minutes to browse our uship profile/feedback and let's get you booked and scheduled. We will be in the pick up area beginning of January and could get you loaded up after we're finished delivering. Pls advise, Chris. 12/21/2008Report a Violation

Hi Dave. We're heading to the east coast monday and we can still transport this for you. Pick up 5/6 Jan? Pls advise. Thanks, ChrisL.Report a Violation
Response: Chris, The Seller informed me that the antique MG should be ready to be picked up in Spring City, Pa. by Jan 5 or 6. He would need an exact time as he works and doesn't have time to wait around waiting for pickup. As I mentioned in my listing, the Chassis rolls but might not steer or brake and there are lots of loose parts such as doors and fenders and radiator as well as boxes of small pieces. I need for all to arrive here in California safely and in tact. I would like to pay no more than $2500. I will pay some up front , but most to be paid when the car arrives in San Marino, Ca. with all parts accounted for. Please reply back to me with your terms and a bid. Thanks, Dave12/30/2008Report a Violation
Response: : Thanks for the reply Dave. We have already booked with another client for Jan 5/6. I can however schedule you for pickup on Jan 10. If you are ready to get this booked I will place the bid for $2500. After you accept my bid we can communicate directly to confirm pu/del details and such. Please advise. Thanks Chris. As of tonight we are available to pick the car on Jan 10.12/30/2008Report a Violation
Response: Chris, I have emailed the seller and asked if the Jan. 10 is good for him. If he answers in the affirmative, I will answer you and you can place a bid. He should be back to me by tomorrow at the latest. Dave12/30/2008Report a Violation
