Having a car shipped is very expensive. They have to sned people and equipment. Car has to be loaded. Probably transferred a couple of time. It has to have the correct paperwork to be cleared at the border.

It is a highly specialized service for the one-off consumer. Totally wrong for the run of the mill car. As you found, it costs too much. This is usually only done for high value or specialized cars where shipping is not a factor.

Sometimes it is better to go and get it.

When buying a car, it is the TOTAL price: car, taxes, registration, safety, shipping, that you need to look at.

What are you looking at, where is it, where are you?
