Has anyone had a Disco shipped? Say maybe from the West Coast out to the East Coast..
I am just curious to know ball park estimates on what this would cost.

Thanks in advance!

I just shipped a 1965 Series IIA from Georgia to Los Angeles. The BEST price I got was $1050. Some where as high as $1450.

That's door to door open transport with a 7~14 day delivery time. Covered transport was double that. You can save between $100 and $200 if you can drive it to their terminal and pick it up at their terminal on the receiving end.

I contacted 11 different companies. I now know more then I wanted to.

Kyle, how long ago was that? I couldnt' find anyone (and I called TnT like you suggested) that would go anywhere below $1000. TnT quoted me $1095 and the IIA is lighter then a Discovery.

Thanks for the input Guys!
The reason I ask is because I have noticed West Coast Rovers to be several thousand dollars less than what I see here in the Peach State, GA. With this being the case, it looks like I can buy a Disco and ship it here for less than finding one local!

Have you talked to Bear Valley Land Rover? They are somewhere near Atlanta I think.

They have a pretty large used selection and seem competative.

I'm sure they are using the higher gas prices this year to justify the increase.

I was under the impression that you brought Ho's Disco back East a while ago. That's why I asked. That is what you refered to, correct?
