Getting A Car Transported From Perth To Sydney

[iwanta34gtr]

Hello every1,

Im interested in a car which is located in Perth and I live in Sydney.

I was hoping to get advice on any companies which transport cars from Perth to Sydney and a rough idea on cost if anyone knows.

Thanx.

Your best bet would be to look at transporting companies man.

costs can range from 900 up to 1600 depending on which comapny you use. You can enter the details of your car on most company web pages and they generate a quote

Thank u mate. Have u ever used any of them before?

[Boss-zilla]

i have used Ceva several times now. the thing you have to remember most will use the train so the do get dirty. Most places give the car a wash before you pick it up but in saying that if its a nice car i would tell them not too the wash it myself on the way home.

Ceva cost us around $1100 from Melb to Perth as an idea, that was door to door.

Thanx 4 the info. Its a r34 gtr I dont mind if it gets dirty as long as it doesnt get scratched or dented on the way. Did any of ur cars get damaged at all?

I'd be worried about the front vspec diffuser if they are getting it on / off numerous forms of transport as they sit quite low. Do u kno if this would be a issue?

Thanx again.

depends on the driver at the time. My 32 was lower than standard but still way above legal. I had a few small rub marks but nothing a cut and polish wouldnt fix. They are insured just make sure that who ever is at this end gets all the marks (if any) on the pickup form and you have a copy when you get the car. This way if there is any new marks you have proof.

I used Ceva Logistics to move a my car from Perth to Sydney.

Took about two weeks (maximum) and car was in great shape. They noted any marks before it went on the truck and double checked them and ran through them with me when I came to pick it up.

They don't do door to door but it depends, I had to use Ceva because my car was too low, drop it off at Welshpool in Perth and pick it up at Villawood in Sydney.

Work paid for the shipping of my car but it was around $900 from what I remember, however, I got it a little cheaper than usual because I was using a Courier company to relocate so they did a better price. (Allied Pickfords)

Hope that helps mate, good luck.

Thank u guys, I have heard Ceva is good. Bit more expensive then others but id be happy to pay more 4 good service.

[tricstar]

yeah I used CEVA a few times, pay a bit extra for the premium or race car service for cars too low to go up the ramps of the trucks, and it goes into a container at one end and doesn't come til the other..it was only a couple hundred more..

[iwanta34gtr]

Hello thanx, yes I called Ceva and they told me cos it sits quite low it will need that. They will call me bak within 24 - 48 hours with a quote. Will post result. Thanx.

[iwanta34gtr]

I received the quote from Ceva 2day for gtr transport.

Unfortunately this is a bit much for me, so will wait for 1 to pop up closer to this side of the country.

Thanks 4 all ur help guys.

Dude, that is HEAPS!

I'm very surprised it's that much, sorry to hear dude, good luck with your search and let us know how you go!

[iwanta34gtr]

WIll do. Thank u

[HR_31GT]

My god, thats an insane Price. Would be cheaper for you to pick it up in Melbourne and then drive back the NSW. , Better yet, would be cheaper if you take a plain to Perth, and drive it back too.

[mickey]

that does sound like quite a lot, I think mine was about $1800 for Melb to Perth via a container.

yep through Ceva too just checked the paperwork.

[iwanta34gtr]

Stephen its your car I was doing the research for. It still keeps me up at nite.

[Topaz]

Damn, that's a lot. Just for reference, here is a quote that I just ran through there website for my GTR from the Perth Depot to Melbourne Depot

Hello, thanks 4 that. Yes, standard service is much cheaper but they said because of the ride height it has to go through their premium / race service only as they need a trailer with hydrolic lifters to get it on.

No, Stephen's GTR isn't leaving Perth!!

I wish it was. From the pictures that baby is cleeeeeeeeeean.
