    Rent a box truck and haul it. Less than a hundred with gas.

    I did a mapquest between the 2 places (my clients business and the scrap yard) and luckily it is less than 4 miles apart. So, I am confident more that I can do it myself, as long as my truck can pull it without damaging my brakes. If I cant, I will just call a local tow company and have them tow it, which will cost less than $100. It is generally like $65 hookup and a few dollars per mille

    Only issue with that PTS, is that I dont know of any near me, nor what they will charge to auction it off, and because of its age, if it will even sell. Plus, no room for storing it until I find a reputable auction house.

    One of the things I have been looking for is a decent shop some where to rent out, but not are of interest to me as of yet.

    If it is like the last one I took, it will be $600 or more, which is not bad, considering cars are only $200 to $300 right now.

    In the long run, that would be tru, but here you have to put a BIG deposit down, and whatever else. Just to much headache for me.
