Shipping a Car Bought Online?
I’m looking at a classic car on eBay that’s three states away. If I can't see it in person, should I book an enclosed carrier for the extra protection? Also, how do you handle the Bill of Lading if you aren't at the pickup site?
For an eBay classic, enclosed shipping is definitely the way to go to protect that vintage paint and chrome from road debris. Regarding the Bill of Lading, you can usually have the seller act as your agent at pickup to sign and document the car's condition via photos.

It is better to pay a bit more for a professional carrier than to risk a DIY mishap with a car you haven't even sat in yet!
