I want to purchase car from interstate and have it sent by courier
say from QLD Brisbane to NSW Sydney?

whos had a car couriered interstate?
what company did you go with?
did you get your car back in the same condition when you saw it?
anyone had any bad experience?

just searched under car carrying under yel???pages.com.au, there were plenty, so Im really just stuck with who to go with.

any recommendations, trustworthy / reliable companies that will get the job done.

if ya had the time...it would be best to fly up there , check it and buy , and drive it back down. that way you will get an extremely good feel for it and find any problems on the way :)

thats enough

I work 6 days a week also, finish work Saturday night, start driving up to Sydney, get there 6am, relax a bit, pick up some things off Yonas, 2pm, start driving back down, get home 11pm, sleep for work the next day

its very do-able

Used these guys at Moorebank a couple of weeks ago from QLD to Sydney.. good thing is they deal damaged cars aswell.. they have afew depos around so fairly accessable and price was by far the cheapest I have come accross..
