I don't think any auto shipping will be "cheap". You could do it on open or enclosed...depending on what you want to spend. Enclosed would be better, you wouldn't have to worry about weather, or road conditions affecting your paint.

yup I know, I think the regular is about 500 and those enclosed ones are around 800. Well what do think, the 300 difference is worth it?

Jem, it's Sammy here. So, you are really moving to NY?? Anyways, you are looking at about $1000 for the shippng with open-trailer. Most places charge $300~$500 more for the enclosed. My suggestion is just to go with an open-trailer type unless you really care about paint quality of your car. Go to http://autotransportreviews.com/ or http://www.auto-transport-reviews.com/ for researches on the shipping company you may wanna use. Good luck!!

Well, if your IX has already been broken in, driving cross country wouldnt be too bad. Make a road trip out of it and see america!

I would love to do that also, but Im considering the gas expense, hotels, food and the wear and tear of the car.

I have a friend who did that though, it took them 1 week. and he travelled with his family. BMW 3series.
