How Much Does It Cost To Get A Car Shipped?

[Rickb]

Looking at Truecars list for USA car manufacturers the average shipping/destination fee is about $850 so Elio's just north of $400 is about half the average cost........sounds reasonable.

How much for Fed-Ex overnight?

Will we, as first year buyers, will be paying a premium for delivery because the retail shops will not be set up for bulk deliveries? If so, it basically negates any deposit bonus benefit.

??? Don't you think people picking up cars at retail shops will have to pay shipping?

Everyone will pay an equal destination charge from day one. Even the people living in Shreveport.

Sounds like about a break even proposition for me aside from having to take time off of work!

Taking time off is still a cost that must be thrown into the pot unless compensated with vacation pay and even that is a cost of one days vacation. It just depends on which you value more.

While I was in Jacksonville, a fellow was measuring to see too if he could trailer his "&", don't remember the exact dimensions but I think the machine was just south of 5' -so I think you'll be o.k., as soon as i post this there are folks out there that jump into their rolodex and will put the actual measurement on line - don't know how but they got this stuff down to a science!!

from the spec pdf:

Exterior measurements:
Overall Length: 160.5″
Front Wheel Track: 66.8″ (center rim to center rim) <<<<<<<<<<<
Wheelbase: 110″ (center of front wheels to center of rear wheel)
Overall Height: 54.2″
Ground Clearance: 5.75”

It sounds like Elio plans direct to consumer delivery via transporter to the address of your choice so no premium on shipping required.
