you get get an instant online quote using CEVA. If your able to drop off to the brisbane depot, and new owner able to pickup from the perth depot then quote is $1500

depot to door/door to depot is more, and door to door is much much more
That would be the best way, and cheapest.

Friends of mine recently returned from a cross country car buying saga. Perth to Melbourne in 48hrs in a Land Rover Discovery petrol V8 to buy the trailer. Then trailer hooked up immediately up to Tennant Ck to buy a 06 Nissan Patrol with apparent engine failure. Patrol on board went Great Central Road back through to Laverton, destroying trailer, damaging Land Rover and nearly rolling. Hit 3 kangaroos. When front axle fell off trailer they hooked the Patrol with driveshafts removed to the back of the Land Rover by a 3m rope, then hooked the now one axle trailer to the back of the Patrol and drove like a roadtrain over a horrendous gravel road. The friend in the Land Rover was up for 39hrs straight and came back to Perth a shell of a man. Oh and the Patrol hit the back of the Land Rover when the Landie braked and hit a roo. The result was two damaged cars, and a brand new damaged car trailer.

A couple of grand and they could have trucked it over, and my two mates would have still retained there friendship. It cost at least $2500 in fuel.
