I haven't ruled it out. But to be honest it's not so much the shipping costs - I can bear that. It's more the buying unseen! Always a big risk - have been burnt before.

Ring Toll transport - interstate shipping may not be as bad as you think (at least from Adelaide - east coast may be scary, dunno).

They quoted me $300 to bring a car from Canberra back to adelaide which I thought was quite reasonable.

You may be surprised if you're unable to find the right car on the west coast.

Or Ute!

Hi, I am chasing a restored Datsun of some sorts. I am after a complete running car for a daily driver / weekend use. I am located in Perth, and am hesitant to freight vehicles over. I would prefer turbo setup, but naturally aspirated is also of interest. I am after something with very little / no rust, in the price vicinity of anything from $5k - $12k (depending on condition). If you have any vehicles in mind, please pm me, as I will check the post often. Thanks
