Thanks.
I'm not sure why the age of the car matters. It has 4 wheels and runs, correct? Unless it's a REALLY small car, 8' lumber barely sticks out the window. If you have a fold down rear seat or trunk pass through you don't even need to put it through the window.

Any websites sell lumber with reasonable delivery fee?

Thanks.
What's "reasonable"?

My local lumber yard charges $35 for local delivery. That's more than the 2x4 lumber. Personally, I would rent one of those vehicle from HD or Lowes. Put a post on craigslist. Maybe someone will do it for $20

I have a Crown Victoria, and 8' lumber sticks out the window too far to be safe unless you live right up the street from the lumber yard (which I do!)

Lawn service crews commonly have equipment trailers that can easily carry something like that.

Try HGwSC*, their rates are very reasonable, often only a $20, or if they have competition you may even get away with a Subways footlong with soda and chips. We had 3 bags of Sakrete once delivered by them for a McDonalds #3 combo and a pair of socks. You just need to be creative in your pricing offers.
