I wonder if anyone can help me with some advice regarding shipping a car from Perth to Sydney. I have sold the car and the buyer is looking at about $1400 to ship the car. The problem is with the clearance. The lowest point of the car is about 7cm and this seems to be cause the shipping companies some problems.
As there are probably a load of people on here who would have shipped lowered cars, can anyone recommend a reputable carrier who may be able to help? CheeRS

was told shipping from perth is a bit load cheaper cause it's generally back load, should cost easily less than 1k.
Can ya put some blocks in something in to lift it for transport? |

I'm not sure the train is a good idea actually. I moved my XR6 from Adelaide to sydney and it was clearly stated that even in standard form, occasionally the exhaust is damaged due to the ground clearance from the factory. Fortunately mine wasn't but damage has happened in the past.

Would putting some cheap 'stockie' kinda rims lift it up a touch?

I cannot complain about using CEVA logistics with my GT. They were great.
Hope this helps Regs Justin
