 Hi, A few months back we had a visit from a exchange student from
Germany that we hosted 4 years ago. He flew in from Germany this time
and landed in at New York. He contacted a car moving company called
"Auto Driveaway" and they gave him a car that their client wanted moved
and he drove it to the destination they desired. He made it all the way
to Washington (state) with several different cars from their firm. I
don't know what it costs to have them move a car but it might be worth a
call. I know Portland has a office, so at least they are on this end. I
havn't checked to see if they have a website. Good luck with the move.
