Pick someone where the car is and you may have only to pay one way.

Why not join the RAC and use the home recovery option?

As said post up rough locations, maybe some pf'r with a trailer going that way could earn themselves a bit extra, help you both out ?

Well as a guide most reputable firms charge £1 per mile one way which is by my reckoning about £250 in your case.I'd want about £200 for the job myself.

Yeah,will probably be a bit cheaper with him as he's selling the car too and it's just home and back then.it would be 80 miles for me just to get the car although that's not your problem!!!
