2tonne car transporter in auckland

[muddyhilux]

hi all, really big ask, but is there anyone in aucks that would have a brake car transporter which will hold a 2 tonne hilux that I could borrow over the weekend of 5-7th of March?
Cant afford much but sure I could arrange a few boxes of beer.
Cheers in advance

yip,thats the one,at this stage im gona have to take 2 vechiles with 2 small trailers down,pull motor n box plus mayb flatdeck off to put in smallist trailer then get rest of vechile in other cos biggest vechile i have access to is 1800kg braked rating,but if i can find a trailer to borrow i could then mayb if im lucky afford to hire a large 4x4 with 2500kg braked rating and just do it with 1 vechile and a whole lot less hassle ,but funds are limited as per usual

When you take into account price of gas there and back, and if you have to hire a car, and possibly a trailer, wouldn't it end up cheaper to just get a truck to get it? I know McEntee hire out their car transporter for 55 a day which isn't too bad. Not a short drive down there either

Is it running? Most car transport companies will put it on a truck for round 250 running + 50 to 100 extra if its not running, much easier an cheaper than hiring another vehicle an drivin all that way

hey,thanks all for replys,yeh just abit cheaper tim,2 cars 2 free trailers 4-500,tow truck 800,someone like jeffs gave me 500 quote but u still gota go down and look at it plus put on wheels so thatll be 700+(but i have got someone on the inside looking into it for me ),but yeh,and na not running or moveable at present fakey,

but mr fj40,good to hear from you ,if you think it aint that heavy then that makes things alot easyer,and simpler,id more than happyily pay ya gas to taupo,by ya a burga and a beer aswell for ya efforts,it would certainly make my day alot shorter,only thing is i was hoping to hear her running 1st just so i kno what im buying,i assume by the offer to haul up youd be able to put wheels on it for me and then wip them off in taupo?

oh ok,chevrolux said it has a snapped rear pinion so couldnt be driven currently,i must have missunderstood him,and yeh he said itll run,just needs jumping,i just wanted to make sure she still runs ok mainly,cant afford much if motor needs some cleaning up but yeh,ill pm him again and go from there,gota confirm dates still ok with him before i set any plans in concreate,is it your trailer being used to move it is it?
