Wayne,
You won't be far off the mark at guessing about $800 to ship you're SVX from your area to Ron's. I had lissners (Yahoo site member). SVX shipped from Manassas, Va. to Richland, Wa. for $995. While that's more than the $800 you spoke of, So. Cal. has many major shipping hubs. Richland is somewhat "out of the way". The company that did the shipping was DAS Auto Shippers (
www.dasautoshippers.com). If you know the town and zip code at both ends, you can get an on-line qoute. That may help you close a deal. Wish you didn't have to sell your SVX, though.
