Default Car Transport - VIC to Sydney

Hey guys there a car i've found in Mill Park (Nth suburbs of Melb) and i was wondering how much it would be to transport it to Sydney? It's a KE70 Corolla so it doesnt weigh much at all and it's not very big

What do ya think? any reccomendations etc?

Depot > Depot is about $400. If you need them to pick up or drop off vehicle at specific address add about $80 each way.

Or, consider getting really cheap one-way airfare and drive it up yourself. I think it is worth considering.

Not really mate. I didn't go ahead with it. I was considering buying a EF 5ltr from the forums here but decided it wouldn't be the best idea.

This was from a company that i just googled. Can't remember who they were. I thought it was competitive aswell!

I recommend you don't use this guy

Police are looking for a heavily built man who stole a truck and caused havoc on Brisbane's northside overnight. Officers say he took a car-carrier from Eagle Farm and used the semi-trailer to terrorise motorists on the Gateway toll road. He side-swiped six cars - and two cars were flung off the carrier. The truck was abandoned at Northgate just after 8:00pm (AEST). No-one was injured.
