There is a company based in Arizona called AAAAutoShipping or something like
that.  They shipped my car by truck from Illinois to L.A. for about $600.
They also offer drive-away service where they contract someone to drive your
car (this is cheaper, of course you will have someone else putting a lot
of miles on your car).

family (3) from Jackson, MS to LA, CA, and from NJ back to Jackson, MS. I 
need 5 days allowance (food & accommodation) Please let me know if you 
are interested in hiring me.

For the whole family? And you live in Jackson MS? You've got to be kidding. 
That would cost thousands!

     I don't know if these services still exist (I don't see any reason 
why not) but there used to be a few companies which moved cars around the 
country for something like $50-$100 (surely higher today).  You give 
them, say, $100 and your car, and they find someone (not an employee, but 
someone who is looking for cheap travel - there are probably people who 
travel around the country driving these cars for cheap) to drive your car 
where you want it to go.  (The person who drives the also pays a fee, and 
your car is insured against damage or loss until you pick up the car at 
its destination.)

Drive it over to Universal Studios and ask them to "beam" it over from 
the Star Trek set. <G>

Obviously, the man asked for a serious answer.  So I would
suggest *shipping* it, but before doing so, filling the car
with helium to make it lighter to lower the shipping cost. 
As for which service to use, for God's sake, use UPS and not 
the post office!  - Huy

I drove across in 1988 and again in 1992 and it was a great experience.  Don't 
have the time?  I have shipped via a standard trucking service (call United 
Van Lines) for about $750.  One of my employees had a college student who 
needed transportation for a vacation drive her sport utility vehicle across 
country.  She used a service that arranges everything and insures the vehicle 
while the student is driving it.  It took two weeks to get her car but it only 
cost $375. 

If it is not a great car don't take it.  If it is a great car, why do you want 
to trash it in NJ?
