Thread: series 3 good buy?

If you want to drive it on the road you may be able to get a "permit to move" depending on your State's traffic laws. Ring the registering authority and ask them - in WA the vehicle MUST be roadworthy so it is the permit holder's fault and liability if he has a prang on the way home and the car is found not to be roadworthy.

If you are planning a 4 hour trip, you must have good confidence in its serviceability. Would it be easier to licence it at the point of sale and then drive it home? If I was doing the same thing I would give the machine a major service before leaving - change all oils; grease; critically examine the brakes by taking the drums off and road testing them; possibly change the coolant depending on its appearance etc.

In answer to your last question, in addition to the above- inspect the springs for rust, swelling and sagging; poke every chassis member with a thin screwdriver to find any rust; inspect the brake hoses for stiffness, cracking or swelling; inspect the steel brake pipes for rusting and or weeping; check the steering for excessive freeplay.

The price is set by what you want to pay for it

NSW

are there any backload carriers from Sydney to the mid north coast of NSW?

where in mid north coast.

Forster

I could help ya tho i don't know where i am going these days in the truck. Try Fazio's transport at Foster, they are general carters. Also is it going and are all the parts together in it? Also Max Andrews Car Carriers at Kempsey aren't bad for prices and also Holiday Coast Towing ( might be tilt trays) does regular runs up your way. And Lowtrans at Glouster would be a try too, Talk to Chris about it.

Even if you get it Tilt trayed to Newcastle it is half the battle won.

Pm me if ya have a drama.

Cheers

Brian

P.S I also know guys that do brick cartage and maybe help you with delivery too.

Many thanks Brian. Yes it does go so it wouldnt need a tilt tray if I can find a ramp.
cheers

Sounds okay price to me ... when I bought mine unregistered from somewhere near Mudgee, I just drove it home unregistered. But then I'm a bad girl so I wouldn't recommend it.
