deano Posted 7March, 2018 Report Share Posted 7March, 2018 overnight passenger on the Spirit then you bring it back one way. Surely day crossing midweek isn't that bad? Good luck with purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 7March, 2018 Report Share Posted 7March, 2018 Adam, I need to get from Melb back to Ltn Easter Monday. Was planning to fly, and timing may not be right, but otherwise I'm happy to come back on boat with car and you can pick up from me in Lonnie....

jakroo Posted 7March, 2018 Report Share Posted 7March, 2018 And I have offered to get it from Brisbane to Melbourne but perhaps there's someone who could get it to Sydney and I take it to Melbourne, or someone who could get it from Sydney to Melbourne and I get it from Brisbane to Sydney...the moons could be aligning. I just hope it's worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just driven Noosa to Melbourne last month with my own purchase, I swore never to make that drive ever again! I used CEVA last year Perth to Melbourne for my 911. Transported in a container by train for just over $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakroo Posted 7March, 2018 Report Share Posted 7March, 2018 Yes, well I've never done the drive before so it'll be a first. But by the time I get to and from the points via plane and charge him the $400 an hour driving fee (I've estimated it's about 70 hours driving plus 8 nights accommodation with a sleeping fee of only $50 an hour), he may be better off financially getting a professional to do it!

ANF Posted 7March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 7March, 2018 Thanks all for the very kind offers, it is still a work in progress and will let you know soon. Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffy Posted 9March, 2018 Report Share Posted 9March, 2018 I drove my 996 Brisbane to Melbourne over a weekend a few weeks back. Stopped in Parkes. i had trouble getting a transporter, kept saying too low rise height so would need to be inside and that was going to be $1800ish or more across a lot of places. Then saw a damn 911 on regular transport truck on the way down. ceva had good recommendations from a friend who had used a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 9March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 9March, 2018 For all those that offered to help the deal is now done and with a bit of haggling car is being freighted by Ceva with part of included in the price, win win all round. Thanks guys, now the waiting game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakroo Posted 10March, 2018 Report Share Posted 10March, 2018 That's good news for you ANF. I'll carry on looking for something else to fill in my days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 16March, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 16March, 2018 So far a week has passed and my car is still at Ceva in Brisbane.... oh well another week driving the wife's Volvo and juggling pickups..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 3April, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 3April, 2018 My car has arrived now via Ceva and not overly happy with them.... car arrived on time (last Thursday, just could not pick it up) - picked it up yesterday and some dickhead had black sealer/ caulking compound on their clothes who drove it whilst Ceva had it! It made one hell of a mess, of course they denied it. Being a beige interior it is VERY hard to get off and has soaked into the slightest crease in the leather!! Not happy! The dealer is chasing it up but doubt anything will come of it!! I will keep trying to get the black shit out of my otherwise perfect interior!!

Troubleshooter Posted 4April, 2018 Report Share Posted 4April, 2018 Ceva delivered my TT Sydney to Melb door to door and speedo had an extra 130ks on it upon arrival than when it left the dealer -- work that one out -- someone enjoyed a nice spurt in it!

3legs Posted 4April, 2018 Report Share Posted 4April, 2018 I used Carways for my recent purchase of a 928 from Melbourne to Adelaide and didn't really have any issues and the price was pretty good (a lot less than Ceva which I have used in the past).

TwoHeadsTas Posted 14April, 2018 Report Share Posted 14April, 2018 Observation from recent trips up and down the Hume - Ceva trucks were the oldest and dirtiest of any of the car transporters we came across during our travels. The transporters moving new cars were all tidy and clean. Unique Car Carriers had the most impressive rig, covered trailer, very neat and clean prime mover, but you probably pay very well to get that service I would expect.....
