Best Vehicle Transporters?

Post by metaldrift »

Howdy everyone, I been looking at getting some new sigmas, wanted to know if there is any car transporters that people would recomend, I'm in Qld but am looking at cars in many different places. Haven't used one before, I've always had a tow vehicle and hired trailer's but now I don't so any hints or help much appreciated. Thanks! :D

or spend a cool half mill on a transporter but how many sigma's are out
there and if you got them thay wouldnt be worth as much as the truck
anyway lol :lol:

.... once you get past 200k's the cost of transport will be more than the Sigma's worth :(
if its a mint one your after fly there and drive it back, locally hire a trailer....

What about spend your cash on a real nice custom built trailer thats light and tows really good.

I know the trailers I've hired have all been s...box heavy things that you need a truck to pull properly anyway.

I'm building one at the moment thats gonna hopefully weigh about 300-350kgs to tow my galant.

Its amazing how much better a good trailer is to tow..

Have used auto logistics before, the longer
the trip the cheaper it is to use a car carrier.

If it were a PWS Sigma why not truck it.
