Question: Thanks for your bid request . I will be in that area today and can pick up and deliver for 950. I do not have my trailer on thisbeun however so my partner would have to drive it. Let me know if this will work and I will bid. Van@gfi (4/16/2008)
Response: Hi,
This vehicle will get 20+ MPG on the highway and at an average of 20MPG you can travel from Marrero, LA to Farmington, NM for about $287.00 at $4.15 per gallon. Please get back to me asap. I have $800.00 to spend on the shipping and will pay cash in full at time of delivery. The dealer is waiting for me to call them if you can do this deal. Submit $800.00 and I'll click confirm. Thanks Aaron (4/16/2008)
Response: well, it might get 20 mpg but most likely not in the real world. My 7.3 gets 17 mpg on a good day (no hills,load,or headwinds). But still Farmington is a bit off me destination. U do realize I also that I have to get back which involves another driver and vehicle picking me up and uship fees to pay, so what looks like a profitable day ok your calculator doesn't quite work out that way for me.

Response: Well I understand and was trying to help. I have already paid a transporter $850.00 to ship this vehicle but since fuel went up the drivers went on strike and I cannot get my money refunded for 30-days. There are quite few loads from Arizona to back east if your looking at complementing your deliveries. Farmington is a bit out of the way yes, All I can spend is $800.00 for someone who is going to drive this vehicle back. I intend to pay cash to the driver of this vehicle. Thanks Aaron (4/16/2008)
Response: Are you flexible enough on delivery to allow me to find a haul back?... shouldnt take but a few days.. but just dont want you to expect it delivered tomorrow. (4/16/2008)
Response: I am fine wqith you having a back haul. When would you pick the vehicle up as this is at a dealership and they may close early. I will have to make arrangements. Please e-mail me back ASAP and we'll figure this out. Thanks Aaron (4/16/2008)
Response: just a few days.. a week tops..to try and find a companion load to hitch back with... (4/16/2008)
Response: I would like to have this vehicle here by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Please let me know what you dicide to come up with and we can go from there.
Thanks (4/16/2008)
Response: I can be there around 5pm. and really need to pickup today so I can get headed out. My hotel for the night is in Shreveport. (4/16/2008)
Response: I don't think that would be an issue.
The dealer is Open to 6pm. I contacted them and told them you would be by to pick it up. I will confirm the bid right now.
Look forward to wrapping everything up. Thanks in advance, Aaron Maurer (4/16/2008)
