Default Good Non Drivable Car Transport Company?

Hi guys just won this for a great price

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....:X:RTQ:AU:1123

Just wondering what car transport company's you guys recommend?

The car is non drivable but rolls, steers and hand brake works.

Need it transported from Tamworth 2340 to any Depo around Melb or around the south west of Vic.

Any help would be great. Thanks

You might find it very difficult getting anyone to carry it in that condition.

How about hiring a car trailer and picking it up yourself ?

I have had a car brought to Vic before in same condition only difference is this one doesn't have windows. Just cant remember who it was

Yeah I have a car trailer, but a 30hr round trip is a little bit of a long drive.

Just google car carriers and ring them all, most I rang didn't care if it was running or not I assume they just charge a little extra for the extra work.

In saying that I hired a trailer and did syd-bris-sydney in a day, was a fun mission with a good mate for company.

What are your plans with it?
Looks like its flood damaged.
Hope you realise that if it was written off in NSW, that its classified as a Statutory Write Off that cannot be registered in any State or Territory of Australia.

The non drivable part is not a problem for them, they just use a forklift.

But they would be worried about it not having a windscreen or bars as this means that there is a lot that they could be blamed for if any damage is found.

Mark andrews transport (stretch) 0418333470
He collected a ford transit non runner from an hour outside Perth and delivered it to me in Geelong, Victoria for $1300 which was really cheap compared to TNT which wanted $3300. Not fast but they get it there

Door to Door Car Carrying.

1800 366 723

Small operation with a nice truck. My car was running but by the same token they could get the car on to the truck with a winch

With the Landau I paid $596 from Melbourne (Nth Western Suburbs) to Sydney (West Ryde)

I was happy with the service
