bat13, you make no mention of the condition of the auto in question. Is it a driver? comes to mind first. To detremine the relevent issues long distance i would bank on haveing one of our members do a real inspection of the car first. I'm sure there are those types here that would be glad to assist. We are car guys you know. If it were in my area i would want you to contact me. For me, being the adventurous type and didn't have all the resources necessary to make the haul happen i would get some real info on the condition and gather up me a box of tools and hit the bus station. After i bought the car, if you do, the first stop would be the auto parts store for traveling supplies. Anti freeze, brake fluid, and maybe even a set of tires. What better place to do a brake job than in the parking lot of an auto parts store? Pretty simple cars IMO. I'd determine the condition before i left home. Have someone on here look at it first. I bought the boy a car in Calif and had one in our motorcyle club do the inspection and handle the money for me and monitor the loading. Never met the guy in my life. Some people you just get a feel for. Cost was $800 to West Plains, Mo from San Jose. What condition is the car in?
