What are the two zips. Ill call him and make him deliver on his claim. Bear in mind that I'm going from dealership to terminal and saved $150. Term to term was cheapest.
Or you can call if you want.
1888 808 1724, Bert's my guy.

If you can work it out to get a backfill from my enclosed drop off, (coordinate the dates) I'm sure we can get you a screaming rate. You may need to get the car to Fremont. I'm not sure if the driver is hitting LA or not. Where is the car coming from (city).

I got my car from Herb Chambers Jaguar Sudbury. Herb is a self-made billionaire, and owns something like 50 dealerships in the Boston area. From all I've heard, he's a great guy, but I'm not impressed with my dealership.
He's also good friends with Wayne Carini, if you ever watch Chasing Classic Cars. Did an episode on his long-lost Ferrari Daytona, which he totaled back in the 70s or 80s. Found the car, bought it, and restored it.

And at $1000 below wholesale. His R was $5k cheaper than I could get the same car locally here in the Bay Area (we are the highest market pricing by far) This car in LA would also be $4-5K cheaper as well. Too much tech money in my area to find a deal from any dealership. Can only hope to find a private seller who is in need of money.

I called and spoke with Chris. He said because pick up and drop off are out of the way the charge would be $1650. Keep in mind these guys don't own the trucks and simply log onto a system and sign up a driver. I doubt there is any way he could connect with your driver to take mine on the return trip, assuming there is a return trip. Thanks for the tip though- always good to get a quote from another reputable shop.
Good luck with your vehicle - it's a beauty! White coupe looks pretty amazing and the two tone seats are the best combo IMHO.

Bert
Bert said $1400 enclosed. Think you can get him to do better? The other guys are already giving me the run around with the typical lies. They don't yet have a driver so I'm game with going with someone else.

By the way, what's the relationship between the broker and the carrier in terms of fees? Upscale charges me $100 AND THE BALANCE IS TO BE PAID TO THE DRIVER UPON ARRIVAL.
If the $100 deposit is the fee to the broker, then why would they have any skin in the game in terms of the overall rate?

Still waiting...
Car currently still in Illinois state limits on way to SF/Bay Area.
Car picked up from Boston on the 20th. Promised to me in 6 days or the 26th. Car sits in NJ terminal for 6 days without moving. The modified arrival date is sometime before Memorial Day. Just called yesterday and now projected arrival is as late as the 8th.
Raised holy hell to the transport company itself, not Upscale. Upscale just as pissed as I am (unless it's a great act) Bert promises to get my rate reduced for the delay. Said he'd call me back yesterday with discount amount.
Crickets.
This is the game people play with transport. Always muddy as to whose to blame. The silver lining is that I'm now at $875 for Boston>SF ENCLOSED trip, with an undisclosed discount to be anticipated. It would be easy to say cheap can be bad but at the same time, the broker and I are at the mercy of the driving company.
I'll keep you posted.

Keep us posted on your status. Hope they get it to you soon. Or can at least give you accurate updates on where it is and when it will be delivered.
