Ok so iv got a bit of a problem... I'm looking to buy the astra van that was posted by guy. Fly to Sydney and drive it back. Only problem is that the van is 2-3 hours outside of Sydney. What would be the best/easiest way to get the car? Either me making my way to the car (dont know how I'd do this yet) or get the car transported on the back of a truck to Sydney? Then just drive it home... how could I get from Sydney to the car bearing in mind id be by myself with hand luggage. A taxi would cost an absolute fortune so what other ways is there?

Would you be able to make arrangements with the seller to meet half way? That way you cut it down to an hour and a half

That's a possibility especially since you're travelling from interstate.
Would only seem fair.
Maybe a NSW member would be kind enough to drive you down...

Not too sure adz. Guy said 2-3 hours outside but couldn't remember what it was called. Il wait for the owner to send me some more pics then negotiate with him

Why? Doesn't it only cover you for towing 100kms anyway?

ah, just checked. With racq you get 200 km towing to an racq office. nrma roadside only does 100 k's max.

why not take the train and then get the guy to meet you at the station?

are you flying into sydney?
if it's 2hrs north of newcastle, it might be equally as painful going from brisbane
