Default stuck like **** any ideas?

Dudes, bought a sweet little XP ute off ebay the other day and now I am stuck like hell! I thought (erroneoure...erroneo.... wrongly) that getting a non runner from one joint to another was no big deal. Boy, I dunno where my head was, but it was most likely not on this planet. My bro got a car delivered without problems a few months ago, and fairly cheaply, so I thought I'd do the same. Trouble is, he was close to the highway. I'm not.

I have contacted quite a few guys and they all want runners. The two companies who said they'd do it want between 1200 and 2000 dollars, that is because its a non runner and theyd have to take one of those tilt tray units up there and back especially for the trip. I don't have a car trailer, and now that I have contacted the current owner, who has advised that a car trailer is about the only thing that is gonna work cos he has dismantled a bit of stuff on the car and stuck it in the back (it does have a tonnau cover) and it does have wheels and brakes but it doesnt apparently start.

Dammit, I was keen on the ute as well, but I aint gonna pay $1200 to get it here. Anyone have any mates who live up that way and are keen on a cod trip and own a car trailer.
Happy to pay (several) hundred for the inconvenience, tho 1200 is outta my league.
Oh yeah, minor detail: the car is in Ballina and I am in Shellharbour. Close to a 700k trip. Just a short stroll, really.

Any other suggestions? Like where I should stick my head?
