thanks for that, i'm trying to get a quote but they say the vehicle needs to be drivable.. it doesnt turn over but everything is there... does this count as drivable to them?

i've used moving cars as well to get my EF XR6 from bris to melb. unfortunately they need to be able to drive the car on and off the truck.

if the vehicle is non-running... it will cost a lot more than if the vehicle was driveable...

how far off running is it?

i'd suggest a company like VIP transport (they advertise in Just Cars)... they do non-runners... just google them...

Welcome to the forum too by the way...!!

Well Done

That's pretty damn cheap

I was going to suggest Ceva Logistics (old TNT) as they do non runners at an OK price

Hope the car is all you are hoping for !!!
