Anyone with a truck/flatbed trailer that could help me prease

So I bought a subaru, the guy said he would deliver it (that was part of the deal) and I think he might be effin me in the butt. Could anyone help move a car if I pay gas + whatever? I just don't want to pay $300 to tow it 50 miles

Call aaa up and pay 80 bucks for membership and wait a few days to get it towed. You can use it 4x per year. EAch tow can be upto
75 miles with it.

you dont need to wait any time. I did this with my talon when it blew up at the dyno day. Signed up, and got a tow within hours.

Yeah I don't know, I'll PM him.

Doesn't the car have to be broken down on the side of the road for AAA?

Not that I can see from reading the rules. There's a + plan that'll get you towed up to 200 miles or so. I signed up for that in case I break down at BIR and want a tow back to DB/RS.

I use to work for a tow outfit and AAA pays about half what a normal gig does. The benefit is that there are a lot of tows. I'm betting there are few problems that couldn't be solved by giving the driver a tip.

No, i bought my stealth with a bad fuel pump and called for a flat bed trailer. They didn't say anything and towed it home. Also had it towed once from work when I had another blow fuel pump. They can tow from anywhere to anywhere. Just over the millage you start to pay per mile. But the 50 miles will be under your limit.

AAA, the best Mitsubishi backup plan in history. I even know the flat bed guy they've sent me every single time. And he sadly knows where I live too.

Re: Anyone with a truck/flatbed trailer that could help me prease

If you renew a policy you don't have to wait if your a new customer you will have to wait 72 hours. The basic plan is good for 4 5 miles tows or gold member is 4 100miles and a premium member is one 200 mile tow and 3 100 mile tows but you have to live in certain county. It is worth the money or you can have me tow it using AAA or $90 to hook up and $5 bucks permile plus tax.!? $364.23. Cash or CC ...... or AAA is $120 or so after tax.
