Looking at a 2007 Silver, 12k miles, SRT I, Sun, DVD located in TX for $33k.

They want $975 for an open trailer and $1275 for a closed. I was thinking of saving the $300 and going for the open because it's fully insured.

Don delivered mine on an open trailer through a snow storm. It was dirty as hell but not a scratch on it. I know others will have a different opinion. Oh. And I wouldn't count on the insurance. It's a used jeep--how are you going to disprove that the scratches weren't already there.

On the website, it's stated to be in excellent condition and over the phone I was told the same and they didn't seem shady at all. They have been on eBay for 3 years, have 100% feedback, and took care of any claims. I think I can only trust them at this point and hope for the best :)

Like I said. There is a difference between them taking care of claims when the truck crashes and there being a few scratches as a result of an open trailer... Just don't get your panties in a bunch over a few scratches.

So you think the extra $300 is worth it? There were only a couple vehicles shipped Closed and it was high line top dollar cars. If he's a liar, why would he down-sell me? Just curious.

if your going to spend 33k on anything whats an extra $300 for piece of mind?

Explaining things to you over and over again is frustrating at times.

Easy does it there. Who has their "panties in a bunch" now ;) You never picked one over the other, just hinted at the Closed over the Open.

I was just going by what the Manager said and what 90% choose, and only vehicles over $75k opt for the closed trailer. I see trailers all the time transporting Brand New cars on an Open trailer. Maybe he makes less on closed?

+1 .

enclosed trailer might be less aerodynamic, reducing the mpg, and if he's towing it with a diesel, then expect a serious price increase. Last I checked diesel was $5.25

You're being racist.

Yeah it's me again. You my man, need to lighten up with the comments like "panties in a bunch", :eek: directed to Bridam who has gone ABOVE AND BEYOND in trying to advise and help you in many ways, many times. He's a big boy and can certainly handle it, but makes you look like and ungrateful a** imho.

We all understand you're attempting to be cautious in your purchase, and get the best possible deal. However, many of your queries and comments are getting a little redundant.

You may not like it, but that's the way I see it. Bout time to step up and make a few decisions. Let us know if you finally make a move. Good luck on the purchase and the shipping.

(1) I said that my truck was delivered in an open trailer and it was fine--read between the lines

(2) Other people have had this debate and someone complained that their truck got scratched--use the search button

(2) You said that you were not worried because of insurance. I said--good luck trying to prove to the insurance company that scratches on a car that you've never seen with 12k were caused during the delivery.

I'm happy to help you and I've been supportive--but you've got to start listening and make decisions on your own. And, by the way, buy a bwoody because I can't stand to see another damn cai thread.

I don't get it. It appears you're willing to pay $33K for a used vehicle essentially sight unseen -- a used vehicle you've never test drove... and willing to believe a perfect stranger that wants your money with a passion.. but you second guess the folks here about their experiences?

Here's more friendly advice.. fly to Texas, take a close look and test drive that SRT before signing a contract. Then if it meets your expectations, drive it home and enjoy the vacation. Vehicles always look great in a photo on the internet.. trust me, take a closer look.

You see all those muscle cars at Barrett Jackson and Russo Steele going for over $100K -- even at close range, things aren't always what they appear to be.

yeah, I bought mine sight unseen...but it was brand new....used, and I'd want to see it... I think I paid around $750 for open trailer from st. louis to S. florida...not a scratch was on it.....open is cheaper because they can fit more cars on the double decker carrier. Bridam is a whinocerous!lol

Had mine shipped from Maryland to Seattle open trailer, no problems. This was a month ago. If it had been January I might have gone closed.

FWIW, It sounds like that might be from a place locally known as "ecarlink", or something like that. I've never seen a crappy car in their place. You should check out their whole "showroom" or whatever, just to browse and check things out. I checked out an E55 there 2 years ago and the place was spotless.

They're legit IMO. So I'm sure the Jeep is immaculate.

Thanks to those who aren't a bunch of coc kbags ;)
