Sorry about that!

GL! Let us know how you make out.

Full time job and school starting in two weeks is prohibiting that dream from being a reality.

Okay who has shipped a car before and what were your experiences? Car is in SL, UT and will be traveling to 21014 should I get approved.

I've had two of my own cars shipped before and I've also sent car shipments a few hundred times before. It all depends on the driver and the company's policies for customer satisfaction in case something happens.

They guy that bought the car in AZ used Montway. Was wry satisfied. 4 day delivery. I think it would very base on the actual driver though.

When I bought my first ZHP from a guy in Dallas a few years ago, my Dad used one of those shipping bid websites. The car came on time (took like 2 or 3 days) and was in perfect shape. I think we paid $500 or so. Open trailer, Dallas to Knoxville.

[Hornung418]

Hmm I will look into the bidding site.

Justin, one of the sites is http://www.uship.com. My E30 I purchased (non-running) in FL, and for the 1,000 mile move, it cost about $650 on an open car carrier. The $50 was the non-running aggravation fee. Pulled it off the trailer with my tractor and up my driveway.

Locked in at $7,500 :) going to be an official Mafioso by months end :)

I do believe our cars are twins.

Sent from a junkyard via GS4.

[Hornung418]

Its a twin of my current car too lol. That's really the main reason for me jumping on this car. All of my interior and exterior mods will transfer right over.

The damage on this car has me thinking about putting my fresh fenders on the car and making it a prefacelift...My newly resprayed hood and bumper would be a direct swap between both cars. This car has ZKWs...so I would swap my AL bi-xenons for the burned bowls. Thoughts??

I am debating about driving it back...only concern is the cooling system has the OG water pump...139k on that sucker. Don't want to put 2100 miles on it before getting a major inspection.

[Avetiso]

I wouldn't do a pre face lift. Weird IMO.

Sent from a junkyard via GS4.

[brettbimmer]

Congrats buddy! If you are looking at taking a road trip home, what about getting the water pump swapped by an Indy either in the area or on the way? I know you can change it yourself, but it may be worth the small amount of extra $$ to know you are safe for your trip home.

That said, I suppose you could just pack a spare into your luggage...in case you need to change it en route.

I'm with Avetiso. Stick with the post-facelift. Resale down the line would certainly be better in post-facelift format, should resale be in the future cards.

[Hornung418]

Okey dokey. I just didn't want to give up my awesome ALs for the burned out ZKWs...I wonder if I could swap the internals easily.

And the fender needs replaced and painted...but I already have them so that's where it comes into play. We will see. I love the look of my current car...but the fitment is off due to idiot body shop employees.

[fredo]

If it was mine, I would keep the LCI looks for sure. Just my two cents. LCI FTW !

[quikryptonite]

Hey, that car is just down the road from my place. Let me know if you need anything in SLC.

[Hornung418]

If it's not too much of a hassle, do you think you can give it a test drive and an honest review?

Caleb's contact info is in the FS thread, he's in Riverton, UT.

Things I have that are going to go on the car immediately: OEM ZHP Control Arms - originally intended for the 328i, 68k mile ZHP shocks and struts with Hotchkis Lowering Springs, Stewart water pump, Under drive pulleys, fresh Mtech2 bumper (fogs and lower grill are fresh), newly resprayed hood and OEM performance Grilles :)

[quikryptonite]

I'll be down that way tomorrow. I'll try to get a hold of Caleb.

[QC_ZHP]

Nice! please post updates/pics of epic journey home. OB ZHP's are worth it. Granted you're going cross-country, but I flew up to DC and drove mine 6+ hours home. Stopped and in downtown DC and enjoyed the ride home. Just DO IT. Plenty of ZHPmafia members and e46fa******:ninja along your way home to help with any trouble you run into.

[Johnmadd]

This is epic Dawg :biggrin

[Hornung418]

So true. I'm going to be making the trek. I need a vacation. The trip has me all giddy inside :)

10 hour flight and 31 hour drive. I'm going to be a tired SOB after this!!

[Johnmadd]

When is your departure? I would love to do something like this. Have fun and take lots of pics of your journey!

[Hornung418]

Still need to plan that. Looks like next Saturday evening would be ideal. Leave Sunday morning and take Monday and Tuesday off. Resume work on Wednesday.

Still need to get the paperwork at my bank filled out. But I am approved for the loan only bad thing is that my interest rate is like 15.9%. No Auto loans for any vehicle over 7 years old.

The overall plan goes something like this: Buy ZHP > Transfer aftermarket parts from 328i to ZHP > Get 328i running in stock format > Sell 328i for whatever someone wants to pay for it > Pay off loan by years end.

Dude, go to a credit union. That interest rate is killer.

[Hornung418]

They won't finance anything over 7 years or under $10k. I'm fine with this option. I can pay off the loan in no time. Plus now that I'm back in school my payments to the Dept. of Ed. get differed til I graduate. So I'm pretty much free and clear of debt at this point. Payments for the two or three months I would owe on this car are going to be around $270 a month. Happy with that.

[09mageec]

This is awesome dude. Glad I decided to log in and come across this. You must be PSYCHED!

[E_Rak]

Wow this is going to be great! If you drive, are you doing it solo, or will you try and get a couple buddies to come along??

[Hornung418]

Yeah almost 4k posts into my membership here and finally getting a ZHP. Super pumped.

I'm going to apply at the Credit Union and see what we can do as far as financing. I do agree that 15% for a personal loan is way to high, but considering my exclusive use of BB&T I figured it would be the logical thing to do. Because I definitely don't want an e9X...

[Hornung418]

Probably going to be riding solo.

[alexandre]

Awesome purchase. With the price you paid you have a lot of leeway for preventative maintenance.

I drove 18h to bring back mine home - it was a blast.

Good luck!

[QC_ZHP]

The credit union should be more lenient and allow an auto loan on 10+ years. I financed my 03 for credit purposes, 5%.

[ELCID86]

:like
Ref: the financing, I'd imagine that most lenders will not finance a car with that mileage. Sorry to say. GL

[Hornung418]

Yeah hope they go through with it. The car is priced to sell...doest really reflect the correct value of the car. Mileage is just a number ;)

[Hornung418]

Thanks gents. I will make a travelogue of my trip out and back. That way I can hopefully meet up with family members and possibly get some hospitality :)

Probably going to stop in Colorado for a little bit...lots of beer in that state :)

I will keep you posted!

Thanks again, Scottie. Your detailed review of this car after test driving allowed me to pull the trigger.

Holy crap Justin, looks great, congrats to you! Very excited and good luck for a safe trip home with her! I would honestly skip the big beer tasting on your way home... Being hungover/feeling crappy is NO way to drive long distances, especially by yourself... Ask me how I know...

And that being said, don't swing down and spend a night with David (Mtnman) and his girlfriend, you will for sure finish your drive with a massive headache... :shifty

[johnrando]

Congrats Justin! Great news, and enjoy the trip.
