mac, you did fine... I used DAS for about 80% of all the cars shipped from Cleveland for my dealership. and if you would have paid someone to drive it, you would pay for gas, lodging, etc... and of course the worry of something happening to it...

Now you will easily be spotted in town, since I think there are only about 1 or 2 others with that color that I have seen. If I see it in a parking lot somewhere, I will have my picture taken next to it, pointing at the license plate.

Don't fret it too much. Most would also add the cost of a few nights lodging getting there which, with the price of gas the way it is + tolls + flight back home + wear & tear, you sound like you're getting a good deal.

My offer would have bought it down maybe $200, as I would have used my Wyndham timeshare points (I have 497,000 to burn for 2012) for stops along the way. All-in-all, you're probably better going the way you did, as having my 86yo dad living with us, has a way of changing plans unexpectedly for me.

Me too, I'd have driven to Vegas for you. ! Some of us do have that kind of time! But what you are paying for it to be shipped is probably cheaper....
ETA: Oh man, you paid to ship that to Vegas? Oh man, are you going to have no friends. Oh wait, you might, as its about big enough to help them move.

Congrats MacGeek! Sounds like your permanent move to Las Vegas is right around the corner. I hope to join you out there someday before the free drink comps are eliminated.

Good luck,
Croce

The e-opinions site rated DAS as "bad" for tracking and meeting deadline
since neither one of these are priorities for me, and I liked the person I spoke with who said "Look things happen, we ship 20k cars a year and the 99% who are happy tell 1 person, and the 1% who have a problem tell 100 people"

We will see if I'm Part of the "99%"

For the cost of a one way ticket home, you could put an ad on Craigslist and find somebody who wants to visit LV who would drive the car here for you.
