5 Tips to Get You Started for Interstate Car Shopping with Move My Wheels: 

When you expand your car search to include options from other states, you have the potential to find your dream car at the right price. However, don't forget to factor in the cost of transportation when making your decision. Here are some tips for buying a car from another state.

Calculate the Cost of Moving a Car Interstate in Australia

Transportation costs for moving a car interstate in Australia can vary greatly based on distance, type of vehicle, delivery options, and level of protection. Get up-to-date quotes from a shipping company before making a purchase and compare the total cost of buying the car from another state versus locally.

Know the Registration Requirements

Each state has different registration requirements, so make sure to research and understand if any additional fees apply in your state. Remember, you will also need to pay for car registration and title in your home state.

Inspect the Car Before Purchasing

Conduct research and gather information about the car you're interested in, then inspect its condition, service history, features, and warranty. Buying a car sight unseen can be risky, so visit the car or have a licensed mechanic inspect it for you if it's a used car.

Buy from a Trusted Source

The reputation of the dealer you buy from is an important factor when making an interstate purchase. Look for a reputable dealer with a history of satisfied customers and accurate product information. Ask for referrals, research their websites, and read customer reviews to make an informed decision.

Avoid Driving it Yourself

Driving the car to your location yourself may be the cheapest option, but it's not always the best choice, especially for longer trips. Hiring an auto transport company is often more cost-effective and less impactful on your vehicle. Let a professional handle the transportation while you relax.
