Response: Hi Jim, nice to hear from ya. Once we place our bid and you accept it, we will be given each other's contact details (phone number/email). Before we do, will the vehicle have a dealer or temp tag for the trip? Thanks! (6/20/2008)
Question: Hello. Depending on schedule, I can offer driven delivery for $1100. I look forward to working with you. (6/10/2008)
Response: Hello
I like the new price.
Just to confirm your fee includes the delivery, the import process, and insurance for the trip?
Our schedule is fairly flexible - when could you deliver?
Look forward to hearing from you.

Response: Hello and thank you for the follow-up. I am offering to drive this car. You would need to arrange temporary plates, vehicle operating insurance, and export documents with the vendor. If the vendor is a dealer, that should be very easy. I can offer direct driven delivery. To save you the most possible money, I can meet you at the Canadian Border crossing at Emerson, MB. You can process the import yourself. It is not difficult. A customs officer will walk you through it. Please let me know if this is of interest to you. (6/17/2008)
Response: Thanks for getting back to me but I looking for someone who will do the whole process at this time.
I realize it is fairly staight ahead but i just don't have the time due to work committments.
Thank you

Response: Would you be interested in a Sunday morning pick up, Delivery in under a week? (7/18/2008)
Question: Hi Jim, are you still looking at moving the Honda Odyssey? Thanks! (6/23/2008)
Response: Hello
Thanks for your patience.
Yes I still need the Honda shipped.
Just trying to find out about a temp tag or dealer tag.
Thanks
JIM (6/23/2008)
Response: Hi, any updates? Still shipping the Odyssey? (7/2/2008)
Response: Sorry for the delay - we are still debating how we will ship. Will let you know by the end of next week for certain.
Thanks for following up.
(7/3/2008)
Response: No problem at all. Let us know and have a great weekend! (7/4/2008)
Response: Hello
Just wanted to update you - thanks for your patience
I'm looking for delivery in the first couple of weeks in August and I will provide temp tags. Could you quote me for door to door and also for meeting at the border?
Cheers
JIM (7/17/2008)
Response: Hi Jim, nice to hear from ya. Our bid door to door will be 1675. We can't really knock anything off to stop at the border as the mileage difference is minor and we need to get our driver to the airport in Winnipeg in either case. Let us know! (7/18/2008)
Response: Hello
Does your $1675.00 price include the whole process and fees at the border?
Thanks
JIM (7/23/2008)
Response: Hi Jim, it includes the process but not the GST and Air Cond excise tax. Any Cdn gov't taxes are a separate matter. (7/23/2008)
Question: Would you be interested in meeting at the border to save $? (7/4/2008)
Response: Hello
Yes I would- initially this did not interest me but now I've got a bit more time.
This would work for me if you could deliver in the first couple of weeks in August.
How much would it be?
Thanks
JIM
(7/17/2008)
Response: Sir you should have acted a lot sooner on this! I could have put this with some ski doos and got you a heck of a deal! Now i will have to look to get something back down there to get it. If you are SERIOUS about this i will do my best to get you a good rate out of there, But as it stands right now i would need $2250.00 with a 50% deposit and would meet you at pembina ND. If by some chance i can get something to go up there along the way I will give you a discount and it will be subtracted from the balance owed when we meet in ND. If this is something you want to do get back to me and I will make a formal bid then you can accept the bid then we will be able to contact one another dirrect and get the deal done, and I then will get started on finding other frieght to go with it. Del would be some time in the first 2 weeks of august when it will work best for you to meet me. Thank you, B Piel (7/17/2008)
Response: Thanks but $2250.00 is a lot more than I had in mind.
JIM (7/17/2008)
Response: I hear you! thats why i need to get something to go with it so i can get like $1250.00 on each load to make it reasonable for everybody! This $5.00 plus a gallon fuel is just a killer, but I can't haul at a loss either! Like everything else things have gone up, oil change alone is over $200.00 dollars, tires $190.00 each and so on and so on!

Pick up and delivery are flexible at both ends.
I'm hoping to take delivery during the first two weeks of Aug. This period is my leave (holidays)so it gives me greater flexibility to meet you (basically any day of the week).
Thanks
