So I live in WA and the car I have put a deposit on is in NT. I have 2 questions. 1. What is the best way to pay them without them running off with the money (Not saying they will but you never know with a stranger) and 2. What is the cheapest freight from NT(Darwin) to WA (Perth). Any insight would be appreciated. 

I don't really have any suggestion about the first, but since you said it is a rolling shell and therefore not running it will be eye watering to get it from Darwin to Perth; I guess you will need someone you trust to load it into a container and strap if down properly, then ship from there to Perth. Most likely that will involve trucks and both ends and rail in between (if you guys have had your rail reconnected to the rest of Oz by then)

Ok thanks I will look into it. I think I will try and get a car shipping company to move it. I have about 1k to spend on shipping it and I cant go out there so I hope I can find something. BTW the car is a S1 R33 GTST

Ha ! You got no hope at that price. Darwin to Perth is nearly 5000km going the main transport way and the car is a non runner, which makes it more expensive to freight.

When we got our white 32 GTR as a non runner back in 2019 from Sydney to Alice Springs it was over $2k, and that was depot to depot which is the cheaper than door pickup. Average for non runner was in excess of $3k from the likes of Ceva etc. Darwin to Perth is going to kill you if you only budgeted $1k.

The only carrier that wouldn't be well over $5k for a non runner that does that route will be SMB transport, which you can book through Moving cars.

Log onto moving cars and get a quote for a non runner Darwin to Perth - I'll be surprised if it comes in at under $4k.

 

I find that hard to believe for a non runner and the route they will take, as the car carriers route will definitely be Darwin, Alice, Port Augusta then west to Perth.

If you really can do it for under $2k for a non runner as you say, I'd be jumping on it.

    • Good timing mate, welcome to God's country just in time for winter Seriously though....how cheap is rural/regional.
    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 馃構
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
