I have a car that needs a tow from Buffalo to Northern Maryland (around 400 miles).
As always, I thought the shitty part would be finding a trailer, but I managed to lock one down a month back. Unfortunately all of my tow vehicle solutions have backed out and now I have no way of getting there.
So what I need to find is a cost effective solution of getting my car there April 3rd - April 4th. Im not necessarily asking to “rent your rig,” but more so if you have any ideas on how I can get there though other various sources. (If you have a truck available to borrow, that will work too).
I have already contacted a few members who looked into renting from Enterprise and attaching a tow hitch, but apparently their vehicles do not come with receivers.
Also, do not say UHaul rental truck as they charge per mile and will drive my cost up exponentially.
Please let me know if you have any solutions to my problem.
my friends dad may be willing to drive his truck down there for ya if ya pay for gas and kick a lil bit of cash his way.Its a 05 silverado hd with the 6.0 it gets like 12mpg tho
I just called Enterprise and found out that the Amherst location has Tahoes available. If you give enough lead time perhaps this would be an option. Like I said in my pm, I think they have a factory recevier that you could just pop a hitch into. Worth looking into perhaps…
the last time i towed w/ a uhaul truck, the only vehical they had that the said would be capable of pulling itself, a dolly and a 92 GMC Jimmy was their 16 / 18 foot box truck
Cleveland to buffalo was $650 when all was said and done. (with ins on the dolly, but not the truck)
some (very few) dealers will let you take the vehicle home, lets you get better acquainted with all the features, but I would assume you need near perfect credit and a squeeky driving history. I would also assume if you brought it back with 800 more miles they would shit a brick
you dont seam to understand that i was reinforcing your statement about uhaul being expensive
hence the opening line which says “just for reference” instead of something like “hey, try this really shitty idea that will just bleed extra cash out of your wallet”
Sure they will get pissed, but what can they do, its already done. And if you didnt sign a contract stating anything about mileage then you are good to go. might wanna slip the sales guy 40 bucks to keep his mouth shut. lol
Once a lot kid ‘borrowed’ a new ‘test drive’ A4 so we could drive down and pick up a tahoe from NJ then drive back with two cars, I really dont know why we didnt take either of ours, wasnt my idea. we had a dealer plate and everything. He even went through an ez-pass booth with out the scan thing and just paid at the next exit, they never sent a picture and ticket to the plate owner. lol…
Not many people pay attention to the mileage unless its zero. esp if its the one everyone test drives and it already has a few hundred miles on it.
No offence, sorry but that is a pretty insulting offer. I was thinking closer to $300 and that is a really good deal. I might be able to do $250 depending on the car, but $100 is just not doable.
