My parents had a 300SE shipped from Corral Gables, FL to Lex., KY for around $700. They winched the car down with the frame - not the tires. The result - the rear springs are now toast and have to be replaced. Be sure to ask how they secure the car to the trailer. Most good carriers will use straps to secure the tires to the trailer - not winch the frame down to the trailer. They are lucky only the springs were affected. Many times the frame winds up being bent. Oh, and the car sat in Morehead,KY on a trailer for over two weeks in a Walmart parking lot - UNLOCKED! By the time someone came to get the trailer and take the cars to their destination the CD changer in the trunk had been taken along with the car's battery. Have no idea what was taken from all of the other cars.
