GETTING YOUR NEW RIDE HOME

摘要

It's a big country, and chances are good that the ride you buy online is not local. This means you need to get it home from wherever it currently is. If you buy from a dealer, they generally have some recommendations in regards to transport. If you're buying from a private party, then you're on your own. Unless the car is local, your main choices are to drive to the car, and bring it home on a trailer, fly to where the car is, and drive it home, or hire a professional transport company to bring the car to you. If you hire a transport company, you will need to decide if you want an enclosed or open trailer. Enclosed is the most expensive, but it also provides the most protection for your new ride. If it's clean when it leaves, it'll arrive to you in the same condition. An open transport can cost 50 percent of what an enclosed one would run, but your car is open to the elements during its trip. Open trailers typically chain down the vehicles, while an enclosed trailer uses soft straps. This is especially important on cars that are already nice. Both types of carriers will also have an additional charge if the vehicle doesn't run and has to be pushed or pulled onto the trailer.
