Check the CL appliance section again.  Usually there are ads in there for local delivery services. 

That's a nice set of machines at an excellent price, particularly with a gas dryer.  I can't tell for sure from the picture but I think the washer is a standard capacity machine.

Decent set at a good price, I'd grab 'em.

I don't know what you're currently driving, but I would suggest trading it in on a pick-up or a van since considering your location you're likely to have to travel some distance in pursuit of vintage large appliances.

How about renting a truck? I know around here Lowes will rent a pickup by the hour.

Maytags show up in colors often enough.  Even if you find a set you like, such as those in Santa Barbara, you're going to find colored ones or designs with more bling tough to resist.  Start budgeting for a vehicle that can haul machines.  You've got it bad, and not having a means to transport anything ain't good.

From what you've stated, it seems like working on vintage machines would be both therapeutic and a good escape for you.  Single parenting is not easy and most assuredly exhausting with an infant and a toddler.  I hope you have help that covers for you some of the time.  You have a huge weight on your shoulders.  You may love the hell out of your kids, but you still owe it to yourself to come up with a respite plan. 

I have a similar situation caring for my partner who had a massive stroke three years ago.  Tinkering around in my workshop is how I get "me" time when I'm stuck at home.  I can tell that tearing into a big machine or two would be the perfect indulgence for you, and you should understand that you're worth the expense.  If it costs you another $50 for gas if a friend can help you get those Maytags, that's still a good deal when the bottom line is maintaining your sanity.

I had one of those Electronic Control Maytag dryers but it was gas.  It gave up 15 years ago, but remains the best dryer I've ever owned.  If this site had existed back then I probably could have fixed it.  Its companion washer is probably still out there running somewhere.

Nag your friends.  Pay for the gas and lunch.

Couple of beautiful dryers. On the early Maytag dryers,  probably the most trouble prone part is the electronic control, and those RARELY go out. It might need belts, or a blower.

That DG808 is top of the line, electronic dry control.

There will be others.
