I tried to get my MCS from NY to Seattle with a 2 companies that were horrible. I finally got hooked up with Autolog, enclosed train cars get there cheaper, safer, and faster than scary semis. Autolog is also the company that many dealers use to transport. I STRONGLY reccommend them for their services and great customer service. There are so many bad companies that dont care at all with horrible customer service.

Try calling a few dealers also and see who they use and/or recommend. Try Classic MINI and MINI of the Hamptons, they both do a lot of cross country shipping.

You should ask if anyone wants an adventure.

I'd say that's about a 4 day trip, right?

Drive one way and fly home (or visa versa). Get an adventure and maybe even save some cash (assuming that you have the time off). You're probably looking at ~$800.00 to ship it so you have money to work with.

Thanks, but they don't ship out of Chicago, only Penn.
