Car Delivery Costs??
Does anyone know what kind of money I can expect to pay to have a car deliverd say 200miles? I know it must make a difference on how far the
collection and drop of point is from their home base, but do they usually change for the whole journey or just the bit where they are actually
transporting the car?

Plenty of people advertise this on e-bay, simple enough to ask for a quote. depends if it's a round trip for them or if they can arrange another
pickup near you

I think most of the ones on ebay charge £1 per mile.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

We just had a project shipped up from Worcester @80p /mile and a rowing boat belonging to a workmate was taken to Shefield on way back at a reduced
rate - Andy Dunne from Pudsey (has a website,)we would use them again - decent kit and polite driver.

I had a lotus delivered from Spalding to The Scottish Borders for £180 Seemed pretty good value to me.

I was quoted £250 for a Triumph spitfire for a similar distance.

Firms compete for your business, I've had cars shifted for 50p/mile.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Ive got a mate with car trailer. He often gets his dad to collect land rovers for him that need new chassis fitting. Bishop to Cumbria probs wouldnt
cost much, more fun to drive though.

i wanted my car transporting about 300 miles and i was getting all kinds of quotes from about £250 upto about £500!
there are a few on ebay, but they are all fairly pricey too. Dont forget you will be paying someones time & fuel & some profit! its not very
"locost"
- Hire/borrow a trailer and transport it yourself. If your car isnt upto it/doesnt have a towbar, hire/borrow one that does for the day.
- Join the AA, roadside & recovery and "break down" when you are there
