Man for like about $100 you could get a plain ticket to Sydney,get the guy to pick you up in car and drive it home :D . Buy a packet of cold and flu tablets and be home for dinner that night ..

i buy a lot of cars in sydney and employ a guy there to make the purchases and to check them over ect , i can also help with trucking it down as i purchase about 20 cars a month and ship them down to melbourne
if you give me a call i can arrange some contact details for you , he knows cars and what to look for , he is also very trustworthy

Hey Tayls,
What ever you do make sure you get a consignment note. I bought some stuff from Brisbane and the guy said he would organise freight. Well he did and F*** all showed up. There was nothing I could do about it that didnt involve a lawyer. Sometimes it not worth saving a couple of hundred to get it cheaper. Ask him about some sort of cash on delivery, or maybe pay half now and half later?

Offer the truck driver some extra cash and give the (cost of car) money to him to pay upon pickup.
Kind Regards,
Brad
