The cheapest way to have a professional company move a car or cars would be to rent out the whole truck (10 cars), that leaves each car on the truck costing about $400 one way. To ship 1 car in an enclosed trailer 3000 miles is a little as $1000 and as much as $5000 depending on the company. The only other option I know of would be to rent a truck and trailer and tow it there yourself, but then you are stuck with a truck and a trailer that will have to be returned.

best bet is to have a friend source a car trailor and bring it down, drive it back and pay em haha would be more expensive than most shipping companies though. good luck!!!

You can ship a car pretty cheap on the railway I think. You have to be a passenger though on teh train
