    Shipping another 1000

    500-1000

    7,000

    your also forgetting alot of fees.
    Brokerage fees, Does the car have A/C? thats another fee. unloading fee, customs fee?
    Shipping to calgary? 500-1000$ depending if you get deals or not. Are you picking it up yourself? well than Gas, hotel. What if the vehicle breaks down etc?

    There are alot of hidden fees.
