MY first thought was to fly there ( NC ) and rent a moving truck to haul it back in. ( I live in Idaho ) But that cost would be around $5,000
Then I looked into crating it and having it shipped. That would be a pain for the seller and still cost me $2,700
I talked to a couple " car transport " companies and I think I will go that route. They're about $1,800. Door to Door and in a covered trailer.
