I had my V shipped from Chesrown in Newark, OH to here in the Bay Area, CA via Intercity (enclosed carrier) for $1500. It went on the truck Thursday in Ohio, and came off the truck on Tuesday morning at 8AM at my doorstep. It arrived cleaner than the last new car I bought locally! Mostly due to the fact that David had it detailed right before it shipped.
Since I shipped in the middle of July with no advanced notice, the lead time was a little longer for Intercity... 18 days I think to get it on the truck. The important thing was that it was well cared for in transit, and I had the cell phone# of the driver.
