buying cars interstate and transporting home?
isky - July 22nd, 2009 at 01:40 PM

Hi all,

im just curious about how one might get a car from say Victoria to Brisbane after purchasing it, as well as the approximate costs involved? If say the car is an unfinished project, undrivable and is in pieces? and without physically going down to organize it?

Thanks

only one way for that type of load. One ute, one car trailer, one co pilot then off you go.:tu:

20ft container.
prob cost about $500

I like the thought of a road trip but its not always doable. 20ft container sounds the go. I thought it would cost about that. So who provides this service? any recommendations?

think it maybe more than that to Bris

cost me $75 to shift a container 10 kms 5 years ago and that was cash and it was my container

I got 3 non-running Beetles from Albury to Brisbane about 4 years ago using car movers. Back then it was $850 each.

They were rolling, with heaps of bits shoved inside.

wow! so i guess you should probably allow for anything up to a $1000...who did you go through volumex?

thanks seagull, after googling that address i was inundated with quite a few companies...
