Try Toll Express.I used them to get a car from Syd' to Melb.They did it door to door at a very competitive price.

i have found TNT pretty good,Toll are usually a bit more expensive but it all depends on where pick up and drop off is,can make quite a bit of difference to quotes.Make sure car is driveable and has working hand brake, as some wont take it and others will double the charge, what ever you do ring all companies as price can vary by hundreds of dollars so let your fingers do the walking as the ad's say.
good luck with your new car bud.

G'day Paul,
What car did you buy? Tell us a bit more about it. Perhaps you could give us a look when you get it back to Canberra?

Cheers,

yep Slim that's the one......
I have spoken to the guy a couple of times and he comes across pretty arrogant.....
I'm going to be a bit daring and probably offer him $16,000.......I'm not spending any more than that.....
What do you think Slim.......?
is it worth $16,000 and do you think he will let it go for that..?

cheers,

Paul.

Bucko.
I think you are a bit late. I just sold a NOS Flash kit to a fella who had just bought that ute. So as far as I know, it is gone. Might want to check though, I am sure that is the only 350 FC 2 tone blue ute for sale on the forum.
