GT3 Posted 29June, 2016 Report Share Posted 29June, 2016 Sorry for a late contribution. I shipped my 996 GT3 from Gold Coast to Perth where I live. I looked at Ceva, but heard a bad story of a friend's M3 loosing its exhaust system in a reloading exercise. I found Uloadit and Gerry Keating was awesome. I have pics, the car was reversed into a container, wheels chocked and strapped to the container and serious padding allround and dust cover on the car. It arrived in perfect shape. They used a tilt tray transporter to take the car out of the container, rather than try to unload the container. It wasn't the cheapest choice but I would do this again in a flash. Highly recommended.The container travelled by rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MezgerMan Posted 29June, 2016 Report Share Posted 29June, 2016 Thanks, @GT3, just in time to move my 996 C4 to Perth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOKA Posted 29June, 2016 Report Share Posted 29June, 2016 I moved an XJS from Perth to Brisbane years ago.. I was a bit mortified when I arrived at the shipping yard to watch them fork lift the car onto the backload, strap it down and pretty much drive off..! Arrived safe enough though with a broken brake line.. It was a rat rod anyway - claimed to be the lightest XJS in the country which used to lap Oran park very quickly with a 454 up front. Fun car. Ahh, the old days where we didn't really give two shits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carreranut69 Posted 13July, 2016 Report Share Posted 13July, 2016 Hey all, I live in Melbourne and bought a car in Perth WA.Transportation was handled by CEVA, covered transport Depot to Depot around $650. Car arrived spotless and ahead of schedule and you can track it from start to finish.Only issue is they must have left the key in the ignition the whole time, and we all no the end result of that...

MezgerMan Posted 20July, 2016 Report Share Posted 20July, 2016 Has anyone used Prix Car Services to move a car? If so, I'd appreciate your review of their service. - Cheers, MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted 28February, 2017 Report Share Posted 28February, 2017 Gents, might need to move a car from Brissy to Melbourne. CEVA reckon they have a 4 week backlog, Prixcar are 'normal' 7 day transit.Anyone used Prixcar? If so how was the experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott930 Posted 28February, 2017 Report Share Posted 28February, 2017 I used http://www.carways.com.au/ to get the Cayenne from Gold Coast to Melbourne (door to door), couldn't fault them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Phil Posted 28February, 2017 Report Share Posted 28February, 2017 If anyone is interested I can offer a drive door to door service rather than shipping. If I have a two way transfer then no one way flight charge but cost varies subject to pick up location and travel distance. Photos and pick up and delivery report provided. Car washed prior to delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGB Posted 21March, 2017 Report Share Posted 21March, 2017 Used Prixcar Bris-Melb, arrived early, vehicle was well presented, easy to deal with, great tracking service. All good, touch wood.But, the Bris depot is in BFN and like Fort Knox. But no issue, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 21March, 2017 Report Share Posted 21March, 2017 I used CEVA door to door to bring my 84 911 Carrera from Perth to Melbourne last month and am personally happy with my experience, though glad I didn't see this topic till now! Cost was around $1050 give or take a few dollars.Was meant to usually take around 2 weeks, but there were a couple of extra delays which dragged it out to one day short of four weeks. One was the volume of cars heading East in their books (usually around 200 but was closer to 450 cars in the queue) and then heavy flooding in WA cut off the main rail line for a number of days.

KGB Posted 21March, 2017 Report Share Posted 21March, 2017 Used Ceva for a car Perth-Melbs in early '15, but they had a 4 week back log Bris-Melbs a week or two ago, so gave Prixcar a go. Happy with both experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
