Is the car registered or on a permit. Maybe you should fly and pick it up and drive it back.

also look up VIP transport they do inspections of the vehicle incase you cannot see it in the flesh written report emailed to you with all flaws, they handle the money side for you and all other necessary documents etc and fully insured they do freight some high class vehicles

I bought an unregistered car (my avatar) from Mansfield in country VIC and had it transported to suburban Sydney. The company was called Door to Door and firstly couldn't actually deliver to my door as the truck was too big for residential streets so had to meet him a few streets away and drive it home and secondly the car was 2 days late. Communication was very poor from the office. Would not recommend.
I had a mate bring a VK Group A from Perth to Sydney with CEVA and had a good experience with them.
