Hi All,

I have a VL that i need to get to perth from VIC . The car is a roller not a runner. So far the only mob i can seem to get is VIP $2200. Anyone know who i could try? I might be able to get it brought over after the winter nationals but im trying to get it to perth as i will be over their next month and i want to start working on it while im there. Any help would be great!

what were there prices like ! i will give them a call tomzif it was depot to depot then not much over $1K last time i did it
but if u require delivery to a address either end of both ends the price goes up.

but definately reckon it will be better than the $2K+ that VIP has quoted u

You could try Ceva Logistics as they use containers. It will be depot to depot though but they would be worth a try . Phone no is 132277 (Australia Wide)....Cheers John

I did the online quote and it was around $1150 depot to depot but i think that is for a runner.

its cheaper because of freight quantity. wa doesnt manufacture a great lot, so freight going east is subsidized.

$1140 melbourne to perth. that was pickup in melbourne, to their depot, pick up from perth depot.
And yes, that was a non-running car.
Maybe talk to them on the phone rather than an online quote. (this was about 2-3 weeks ago that the guy here did his)
