Looking for a reliable transporter for a friend.

[Brewzer67]

Hello, I have a friend who is helping her 80+ year old father buy a pickup from a seller in Connecticut. They were going to drive and pick it up but she is worried about the stress on her father from the 4 days required driving using a rented U-Hall (home is in Gilbert MN). They are now thinking about flying him out there to complete the sale and then have a shipper transport it to MN for them. Can anyone provide a reputable company I can direct her to?

Here is info relative to the purchase:

Buyer: Lives in Gilbert, MN 55471.
Seller/Car pickup: Northford, CT 06472. She agreed to purchase on July 18, so anytime after that.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

First, beware of scams on long ditance vehicle purchases; and especially beware for elderly buyers.

Second, never buy a vehicle sight unseen.

Absolutely, hence the reason for this post. They are flying out to see the car before purchase and will complete the transaction if all looks good. They then want a shipper to deliver the car to their Minnesota home. I have seen a number of issues that people have had with shifty transporters as well so that is why I'm hoping someone on the site can recommend someone reliable who operates out of that area.
