Kitfox 5 and a Uhaul box truck

[peanut]

I looked at an 800 mile Uhaul one-way recently. I figured I’d rather drive it with what they were asking. For that kind of money why don’t you pay the seller to bring it to you. (Yes I know you can’t legally pay him a profit but you could get creative. Work it into the sales price or something.)

I don’t think I trust the power plant to do a 14 hour flight honestly. Why chance it. I’d rather get it in my shop and go over it.

Have you priced Penske? I just rented one and was happy with the deal from them.

I have not yet.

I wonder if Kitfox could put you in touch with Tony Partrain for a delivery quote. He delivers Kitfoxes and RVs for the factories, and I've heard his rates are more reasonable than you'd think.

It maybe worth calling John.

Got a quote from a company that advertises a lot on Barnstormers and it was $3500+ to deliver it. Yikes. I’ll go get it for that cost.

Here's a thought. Fly there commercial. Rent a uhaul 1/2 ton pickup truck. Get on craigslist for an enclosed or flatbed trailer. When you get home, keep or sell the trailer.

That’s a good thought. But I don’t know that I want the headache or risk of open trailer hauling. I have a 26’ wide enclosed at home I just don’t want to put the wear and tear on my trailer. You’ll go through at least a tire.

Go inspect it then make the purchase contingent if them delivering it as represented, build some extra into the asking price. If that doesn't work there has to be a ferry pilot out there that would fly it back for you. I would at least call around.

Sound advice. Thank you.
