I trade my old car to a garage but foolishly forgot to organize pickup. I need to get it to the garage as cheaply as possible. The garage is approx 12 away. Can I have some suggestion of where to start to get it there as cheap as possible. The car is a runner. I have 1 quote of £86. I was hoping for about £40 to £50. I live in manchester

    Thanks for the suggestion, I am old enough for the insurance. I was hoping to take the car tomorow, it might be to late to book a MOT, but I will give this ago later in the week, if no other ideas are available. Thanks.

    Just make sure the garage you're going to has the reg number and that you keep their phone number with you, so if you get stopped by the police you should be on your way pretty quickly.
