looking to buy a roller in OR, any one know how i could get the thing to seattle? also how much would you guys pay for a decent condition roller? thanks! haha..

 

You could rent a uhaul trailer and tow it back. Just use a come-along to get it on the trailer.

 

i was just at the uhaul website, couldn't really find something that fit the bill.

curious but how much would i be looking to spend?

 

for a good roller few hundred bucks 500 with straight body and bad motor.

 

oh wow.. so cheap?

could anyone possibly help me tow an FC up from portland to seattle?

 

what kind of roller is this?
if its any type of stock s4 NA with a bad motor i wouldnt even bother at all...

if its a s4 t2 id maybe spend 300 bucks

if its a s5 i could see spending up to 1000 if it was a good condition t2....

 

if you have access to a pickup or van, your best bet is a one way uhaul car dolly, probably less than $100. i brought 2 7's up from sacramento that way without problem. the 7 is light enough that uhaul will let you pull it with a astro van or similar.
good luck!

 

oOoO astro van! hmph.. thanks i'll ask around.

 

my neighbor will tow it it doesnt have to run just roll. he does it for a living and tows cars all day long. he can fit up to 4 cars on there if need be. price wise not exspensive, very reliable and safe. if your into saving every penny just get a uhaul rental but if you dont want to hassle with uhaul or waste time driving around i would just pay someone to do it. i just had a friend do the same thing i think he would have been better off just paying the tow but he wanted to save every penny i think after eveything said and done it would have been cheaper having it towed.

 

hey how much would it cost to tow a car from portland to seattle?

i'm not looking to save big, the roller isn't that cheap to be honest, but if the price is reasonable, i'd be more than willing to spend the money.

if you get a chance could you please pm me a quote from your friend nwdrifter? thanks

oh btw is just an fc shell with no engine, trannys in, incase you wanted to estimate the weight.

thanks again!

 

no prob i could understand everyone wants to save but this is the way to go if you dont want a headache or to hassle with that let me ask him he's my neighbor he towed a car for me from everett to s. seattle for 100 on a sat with no notice. ill see if he can hook you too since your a club member you dont have to worry about wieght as long as it rolls and doesnt have a huge bodykit in the front he can do it. ill pm quote once i have it.

 

thanks man that'd be great. i can probably work around his schedule if needed.

 

i need to know exact address and drop off point keep in mind its a huge trailer 4 car hopefully its on treets big enought to fit the trailer.
