Questions for this shipment: 

Question: Thanks for your request but at this time we are unable to do this for your, Sorry and good Luck, Thanks Terry (2/10/2008)
Question: Hi Thanks for the Request I can bid $600 today and get it there by Friday Feb 22 I have no other cargo so the bid is due to the miles and fuel it takes to get that far out of the that part of ND. (2/11/2008)
Response: Everything sounds great to me. I agree to the amount and the time frame. I will get back to you as soon as I have the exact width....should be within the hour. Thanks, Kim (2/11/2008)
Response: Door opening: I measured is 5'0" wide x 4'10" high If the frame (I think it is plastic)is more than 5 foot I do not think I want to damage it but trying to squeeze it through. Another thought, I know tires come off but the axle or wheel lug fittings and frame must also be below 5 foot. Do not want to damage anything by taking it in and out. (2/11/2008)
Question: I see now the width is 6 foot can the width be altered I man can the wheels come off to make it 5 foot wide? Trailer door is just over 5 foot right now. (2/11/2008)
Response: Hello, we have just guessed at the width...being quite liberal. I have emailed the seller for the exact measurement. I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks for responding. Kim (2/11/2008)
Response: I may be able to get another trailer with plenty of room. I must rent it. The cost is more per day. That one is 7 foot wide and $80 a day or about $150 more. If the $750 is OK for delivery on or about the 22nd of Feb I can try to reserve that trailer. (2/11/2008)
Question: Thank you for the bid request, but we will not be in your area anytime soon. Thanks again, Melissa. Interstate Auto Shippers (2/11/2008)
Question: I found another trailer that has a true 6 foot door at no extra charge. So back to $600. Let put it together. (2/11/2008)
Response: Great, good news. Go ahead and put your bid in and I will accept it..... Thanks, Kim (2/11/2008)
Response: Hold off for an hour I will be back, (sometimes people say things without themselves measuring) I will go measure the trailer 15 blocks away to know for sure without a doubt that 6 foot will fit. While I do that can you see if maybe there is an inch to spare so there is no scraping? I like to pad along each side to prevent vibration scuffing. (2/11/2008)
Response: Will do. I will research other Volkswagon Dunebuggies to find out their widths...I still have not heard back from the seller. I will wait to hear back from you in an hour or so. Thanks again, Kim (2/11/2008)
Response: I am back, the doorway is comfortably 70 inches to make no scraping? I can pad along each side to prevent scuffing. Inside it is fine for the vehincle with pad room at 6 foot 1 inch. We now have to solve the true width to use this doorway. (2/11/2008)
Question: Can we book it today at $600 and then we cancel it only if needed based on the true width. Also another ideas is that tires can have air let out to make it fit but rims and lug placements cannot be altered. (2/11/2008)
Response: Yes, let's book it. I have been researching other Volkswagen Dune Buggies and their widths are closer to 5 feet. I will watch for your bid. Kim (2/11/2008)
Response: Yes they are I bid right now lets make the deal thanks Charles (2/11/2008)
Question: Manx SR Brochure found online says 65 inches wide. Lets do it I need $200 down via paypal if that is possible. A little fuel cash upfront. (2/11/2008)
