I purchased an X a few days ago and planned on having it shipped from Connecticut to Ottawa, Canada. The shipping company just informed me that they won't be able to pick up the car for a couple of weeks, even though I had told them that the seller would be unavailable after this Friday for a month.
I wonder if someone can help me out. Does anyone have the means to pick up the car and transport it to a storage facility for me? I would pay for you for your time and costs.
My plan was to export/import it through Ogdensburg/Prescott. Even if the car was stored somewhere along the way it would buy me some time to sort things out (the forms have to be submitted to US Customs 72 hrs in advance and they don't accept copies of the documents, just originals).
I am also looking into getting a trip permit and drive the car to the border, but I don't know if CT will issue one to me (the website is not very informative but I will call them tomorrow).
I'm open to other suggestions. This is my first X1/9 and I want to enjoy it this summer. It's a red '87 Bertone that appeared on this forum a few weeks ago.
