Since I can't seem to get any help getting the RD1 that I'm buying in Las Vegas Nevada fixed, I've got to find some way to get it out here to Albuquerque so I can fix it and have a car for the wife.
I've gotta get this car back here, but I'm trying to find an affordable option.
The front wheels need to stay off of the ground because of the axle.
What I need to know is how have any of you shipped cars before?
What companies did you use?
What were prices and approximate distance?
Any other suggestions?

I know you did doode, but the car is still there, still broke, and I still gotta get it. It's not your fault.

I don't have their number or anything. AJ isn't talking to them. I also highly doubt they will pay to have it towed and then pay for the repairs. Would YOUR parents pay to have your sons broken car towed, repaired, and hope that their son's friend pays them back when he comes to pick it up? It was supposed to be repaired first, but that fell through.
Again, as I said, I can't afford to have it repaired there and need to move it here and do it myself.

I know. That's why I started this thread.

find someone w/ a pick up truck and a tow dolly.
if you know someone w/ an RV, then they prolly have a dolly and could help ya out.

Don't know anyone here with a pickup truck other than my Apartment Manager. He's gay, and an asshole, so that's not happening.
I don't know anyone with an RV.

try getting a quote there. I tried doing a regular car one but it wouldn't let me since the car isn't operational.

I think it's possible to pull the car with 4 wheels on the ground. Just put CV joints (wihout shaft between joints) in wheel hub and in the tranny.
In tranny so that oil do not leak.
In hub so that wheel bearing do not went bad.

what needs to be done?
Same tib man, it needs the drivers axle back into the tranny and filled with fluid.
QUOTE
and exactly where in vegas is it?
On the East side of town up by the Temple.
QUOTE
If you just need to switch an axle.. do it yourself mang..
1. Never done it at all.
2. Don't have much time to do it when I get there.
3. ABQElantra and Tiburonmoo tried for like 3 hours to get it back in and it's not going.
4. Don't really have a place to do it. It's in his parent's front driveway.

Yes, it's possible, but I have nothing to pull it with and you can't rent a van or truck and tow with it. You can rent a Uhaul and trailer, but that's almost 600 bucks.
