I don't know if that's true. I would figure its something like:
45 gallons of fuel: $115ish
10 hour drive time: $150ish (I certainly wouldn't do it for cheaper)
Return flight: $150ish (or more if its an obscure airport)
Its running $425, doesn't include a hotel room if needed, and there's no insurance on the transport of the vehicle. When I looked, it was a pretty good deal to have it shipped.
