First off, congratulations on getting a VX! I've bought and sold a number of out-of-state vehicles through eBay and have consequently shipped several. Expect to pay a minimum of about $450 through most reputable shippers. When I bought my first VX in November of '02, I flew one-way to Chicago and drove home to Florida. I left on Friday after work and was home by 5PM Sunday. Total trip cost: $350. The IronMan I just got on eBay was in Houston so another trip was in order. Flew out one-way to Houston on Saturday and was home Sunday evening after some nice visits with friends in Tallahassee and Gainesville along the way. Total trip cost: $250. Got both airline tickets through Yahoo! Travel and paid $100 give-or-take each time. Even got a promo 1st-class upgrade the first trip!
Both times I had a great trip, had a lot of time to myself and the VX and also saw some of the country I'd never been through before. So, if you've got one weekend to spare (provided the distance is within 1500 miles) take a trip!![]()
