who has used socalmitsu and lives across the coast?, if u did tell me how the process works, and how long it took for the evo to get to u?

 

I bought my IX 2.5 yrs ago from South Coast. I lived in New York at the time. They used Dependable Auto Shippers to ship the car

Car came with a dented hood and scratches over the car. I had full insurance thru State Farm but declined Dependable shipper's 3rd party insurance. DAS could care less about the damage and State Farm wanted to fill in the dents

Worst new car buying experience EVER ! South Coast could care less after making the sale on the car. Wouldn't do it again.

 

Dude r u serious?, im talkin to a couple dudes now and there tellin me that goin through socal and DAS was gr8!, As a matter-a-fact they also say the Socal doesnt let ppl test drive the Evo's also, c now u have me thinkin twice about this!

 

if u want im sure you can just get your own shipping company

 

^yeah im sure gettin my own shippin company wouldnt be so bad

 

I am also thinking about south coast too, I went to the mitsi dealership near me and they couldn't beat south coast's price. SO I also would need my EVO X shipped.

 

Just use a different shipper and get their insurance and you should be ok. I've heard my fair share of horror stories about DAS. Search around the boards and I'm sure you'll find some of the problems others have had with them.

 

Isn't the lower price offered by Socal negated by the large California sales tax on the vehicle? I was told that if driven back from Cali, you would have to pay Cali sales tax which is MUCH higher than my state.

 

Damn that the second person to tell me that DAS is a bad shipper!, looks like im finding somebody else to ship it to me, i know fo rdamn sure im not payin cali state tax to get my evo, shoot i live in MD

 

I bought and shipped to Ohio. I avoided DAS due to the terrible stories I read online, and went with Intercity lines. You can read my story with pictures on the second page of this thread, if you're interested:

I bought at SC and DAS had my car 10 days and kept backing up the delivery date. Expected me to wait another 14 days and I had another shipper pick it up the day I called and delivered from Cali to Ohio in 5 days.

 

I'm in the middle of ordering now, so far Sam has been great. Stay tuned.

 

if you can save 4K or more from SC than do it, but if it less than that I wouldnt go through all the trouble

 

dude i know u were excited to c the truck pull up and unload the x, i was excited just lookin at the pics myself! thinkin it was mine, u know what i think i will use Intercity Lines, they extra money looks liek it worth it, they look real professional!

 

looks like ima go through south coast, i hear a lot of good things with them
