Question: Is this the car going to Fredericton. Todd (3/26/2008)

Response: Hi Todd. Yes, I'd like to bring it right to Fredericton, but need some details on how to deal with customs at the border. If I ensure that all the documentation is at the border 72 hours in advance, do you deal with that? Or, do I need to meet you there?

Response: You can do it two ways, meet me at the border and pay the taxes or get a customs broker and they will do all the work for you. The registration does have to be at the U.S. border for 72 hours. I will figure out a price and get back to you. Todd (3/26/2008)

Question: If I can find a couple of things to mve around down there, I could do it for around $1100. When did you want to bring it back. Todd (3/26/2008)

Response:
Ok, I think what I'll do since I need to be at the border to do the taxes stuff, is get you to bring it to Houlton, and leave it at the Irving Bigstop that is there.
What would be the cost for that?
Thanks

Response: If you wanted I could just meet you at the border, you pay the taxes and then I follow you to your place in Fredericton. Does that sound alright? Todd (3/26/2008)

Response: Well, if I've got to go there, I'll just pick there car up from there. So, I guess what I'm looking for is a price from Northport NY to the Houlton Irving Bigstop. You can just drop the car there, throw the keys in the glovebox and lock it up. I'll pick it up.
Also, whats your timeline?
Thanks
Chris (3/26/2008)

Response: I can do that, I would be $1000 to the border. I am leaving for Boston this weekend could probaly do it at the end of next week, does that sound good for you? Todd (3/26/2008)

Response: Timing seems about right, but I do have a question about the cost. When we discussed transporting the G35 from Bloomfield NJ to Houlton, you quoted $750. Distance is about the same from Northport, so just wondering what bumps the cost up another $250?
Thanks

Response: The price of fuel has gone crazy and getting on and off of Long Island you can't get around the tolls. How does $850 sound, let me see if I can get a couple loads around there and maybe I can do it cheaper for you. Todd (3/26/2008)

Response: That sounds good. Do you want to put in an official bid?
Thanks
Chris (3/26/2008)

Response: If it's alright with you, can I put a bid in Thurday or Friday. I will see if I can get a couple other loads. Todd (3/26/2008)

Response: Sure thing. I do want to get back to the seller relatively quickly with some shipping data. Can we try for end of day Thursday?
Also, I'm planning on talking with the seller today, what do you think the timing would be like in terms of what day the car would be picked up, and what day it would be delivered?
Next week is a little frantic for me, as I am in seattle for much of the week until Thursday, and have a board meeting on Friday... Can you go through border customs on Saturday with a car?
Thanks
Chris (3/26/2008)

Response: I will have a bid for you Thursday night. What I most likely do is leave here on Friday, pick the car up on Saturday morning and be back in Houlton on Sunday. If you are driving the car throught on Sunday it's no big deal, you just pay the taxes and the RIV fee and away you go. Todd (3/26/2008)

Response: Ok, sounds good so far.
What I need to do on my end is make sure that I can get everything in place in time for your planned trip, as paperwork needs to get to the border 72 hours in advance of the car.
To do that, I have to get everything done this week and early next, and I'm also traveling to Seattle on Sat until Thursday (so some of it I will be doing from my hotel room in Seattle)... So, busy week of juggling.
I'll let you know if I can get it all arranged in that time. If, god forbid, I can't get it done in time, what is the timing of your next trip?
thanks
Chris (3/26/2008)

Response: I can pretty much go whenever you have the paperwork done, the weekend is better just because of the traffic in New York. Todd (3/26/2008)

Response: Excellent. Thanks Todd. I'll watch for a bit tomorrow night, and will let you know when it looks like things are shaping up.
Thanks
Chris (3/27/2008)

Response: I just put my bid in. Todd (3/27/2008)

Response: thanks, going to accept now.
