Default anyone have a truck/trailer in pa ..harrisburg to allentown area

i'm thinking about buying this 98 firebird thats in quakertown (just south of allentown pa)...its got a bad motor and a new motor on the side..but i'm trying to find a way to get it the 100 miles from there to my house
since i've sold my truck/trailer i obviously cant do it myself..so i'm wondering if anyone in the area or anywhere between might be able to do this haul for me for $..everyone wants 3-400 to do the tow..and i personally feel thats way too much ..especially since i've done towing and i know how much it costs and such..so..if anyone might be able to do this..
i need a car and an engine hauled from quakertown pa to new cumberland pa (outside Harrisburg)
thanks -dan

If you can get it done for $300 thats not too bad. Its a couple hundred miles round trip, and many towing companies get around $2 a mile anymore. Fuel ain't cheap. I can give you some phone numbers of local towing guys if you want.

its just about 100 miles to the dot..i decided not to buy the car because the total with tow ended up abit higher then i wanted to spend..i never got the exact address of the car
and having had a truck/trailer myself and doing alot of towing with it..for a 100 mile tow..350-400 is nowhere even close to a reasonable charge....imo thats highway robbery
