What is the furthest you drove to get a donor?

I see a donor car that I like but it would be 4,600 mile road trip. Or An estimated cost of $2,700 to have it shipped?

That's a long poke. I logged a little over 900 miles round trip for mine. It was the closest donor that fit my requirements after actively searching for around 5 months. "There are always cars for sale", my father would say. If the one you're looking at isn't perfect for what you're after, there's always time.

About 130 miles one way. Not terribly far, until you realize it's the donor I bought, and I had to get it home while having completely destroyed front driver-side drive/suspension.

That drops the shipping cost down to $1,600, such a deal :)

You can have people bid it as well. When I bought my boat I looked into it and the bidding was for a few days. It started at a 2k offer to drop off the boat and by the time it was done it was down to $750. Still ended up driving down to NC from MI to get it, just as a small get away.

My donor was a roundtrip of about...7 miles? Something like that.
How did you manage such a daunting quest! That's got to be some sort of shortest distance record (excluding pre-owned and shipping frames).

I went 350 miles round trip. I really wouldn't have gone much further.
