Hi guys, I just put a deposit on a 2003 fairmont ghia black 5.4 lt Auto 160 K on the clock. A bit on the higher side of $$ at $13500 but all looks good had some money thrown at it, 19" wheels, exhaust , sport suspension and i think it will be a great car for geting myself from A to B.
I need to transport it from Lismore NSW to Perth, have already got a few quotes best so far is $1350 door to depot. Anyone got any other leads on transport companys. also who knows how I go about swapping rego from NSW to WA, I thought I did but a little confussed now. Any input appreciated. Cheers Dave |

That’s about right for transport. I was quoted between $1,400 to $1,800.
And make sure your car is insured for the transport across. I know this sounds like a cliche or urban myth, but honestly I once brought a car across fro Qld and it arrived with a cracked windscreen. Licensing in WA is **** easy. Just go into the licensing centre, fill out the form, and pay your money. No examination is necessary. You can probably even download the form first to save a bit of time. Last edited by Crazy Dazz; 02-11-2010 at 04:36 PM. |

You also need to consider how it is transported, preferably in a covered trailer so you dont get stone chips etc.
I think ceva is the one to use that has the covered trailers, need to check whether they all are covered though. |
