CAR collection from England

corktina

Right, after a few hiccups, I'm available if anyone wants a car picked up from the Southern half of the UK.

THIS IS A NON-PROFIT MAKING VENTURE

If you want a car collected, I will go get it for you AT COST. (ie airfare to Uk airport, Transfers.petrol, ferry , incidentals etc.). I will NOT be charging for accomodation etc as I have family and friends to mis-use for this...

Obviously car will need to have tax and test, I have suitable insurance and AA cover, any unforeseens would be at your own risk though.

Why? well my Ma is in a Care Home in Coventry (the Centre of England...) and I need to go visit her regularly and this way I can do it for free. (Currently unemployed with limited funds and time on my hands...)

I reserve the rght to refuse puddlejumpers and tractors :-). Im very unlikely to turn down Ferraris and Aston Martins... :-)

Have you any idea how much it would cost for you to bring a car back to Dublin from Birmingham,all costs included.
I have been quoted around €500 by transporter.
I don't have anything in mind at the moment but would like to know if there is a saving to be made with your service.

corktina

€500 is a very good price....

i think I can beat that though....flight to Brum less than €100..(less than 30 minutes from Coventry :-) ) Taxi or bus to wherever you car is ,say €30...petrol €70 I would guess, ferry about €100 to €160. train.bus home €50...how much is that? about €400 or so?

Sids Not

It think 400 is a fair price....plus a bunch of flowers for yer ma..;)

corktina

the service I've used myself have gone up to about €750 i hear....flowers would be a nice touch!

corktina

btw...potentially I could collect anywhere in UK but would cost more

That's a fantastic offer, corktina. Fair play to you!

Will I change the title from "CAR collection from England" to "Free CAR collection from England - I'll charge expenses only" or something like that to reflect your offering your services for free?

that is an amazing price!..details wanted here too!

I might not be able to go collect at the drop of a hat but would endeavour to do my best for you Lightening...bear in mind last minute booking of travel costs a good bit more often.

I have to say Corktina "fair play". I know it is a win win situation for all concerned but it is good of you to give up your time. If i ever manage to find a nice W114 /W115 at the right price i will avail of your service.

chiefwiggum

corktina
