Anyone had any experience getting a vehicle from Darwin to Newcastle or general area? Who did you use?

Havn't bought anything just yet but my son is looking at getting a 4x for parts, seems too cheap to be true though to me.

Cars from Darwin to almost anywhere is generally cheap as they are classed as a back load.
For instance - getting a car here could cost $1200 to $1500 but getting one to Adelaide from Darwin could cost as little as $400.

what type of 4by? I used to drive a sierra round up here and 3/4s of 4x4s are driven real hard as theres so many spots to go, but as reub said its cheap getting stuff to go south

It's a Frontera, I think He's gone cold on the idea.

A friend of mine shipped a car from Darwin to Melbourne at the start of this year for $800.
