LF: Tow from Edmonton to Calgary

[Scope951]

I have a 240sx, running, but wont make the trip down sitting in edmonton.
I was wondering if there was anybody in edmonton coming down to calgary that could bring along with them or is going up there to get something anyways.

thanks.

Whats your budget?

[Scope951]

I called to a couple places referred by people in the exact same situation but the places prices have inflated.

orignally he was able to get the car here for 250 with the tow, but now it has been raised the 350 + GST.

So I was hoping to spend 150$ or so,

[78si]

I just did a calculation. 600km with my truck and trailer would cost me at least $120 in gas.

Hopefully you can find someone that is going loaded there and empty back. :)

Too bad, we're going the opposite with a car trailer this weekend, empty through Edmonton and full back to Calgary. But for $150 you'll have to find someone doing the opposite and willing to do you a favor because it does cost that much.

PM Weapon_R, he has a flat bed and IIRC he does this sort of thing.

So I guess my price isn't that high now. :)


I can still tow it for what we discussed in PM.

lol $150 wouldn't even cover the wages for a driver on that 6 hr trip :(

[Scope951]

hmm.
What about 200$?

[redline_13000]

The cheapest you will find if you call tow trucks is 600

[Scope951]

actually there i called a place and it was 330 + GST.

Im already runnign tight on ym budget, and this delay is one that cannot happen.
so thats why im alittle desperate.

[redline_13000]

which towing company does it for $330?

[Scope951]

cliffee Towing.
I grabbed there number off of another post i searched and found.

The lowest prices will probably range from $300 and up. I got a Prelude towed a couple years ago from Wetaskiwin and it was $250 plus I gave him $50 for gas.

The cheapest route would be to rent a tow-dolley from Uhaul and then find a buddy with a pickup and a class 3 tow hitch (5000lbs).

Ah alright, I could definatly do the tow, but anybody got a truck :D haha, My buddy has one but i highly doubt he has the class 2 hitch.
