I'm not sure how "long distance" your move is (where are you moving from?), but I am in the process of inquiring about moving our '87 Vanagon Syncro from Pittsburgh to San Diego.  Shopping the yellow pages, I got quotes ranging from $1,800. - $2,500.  Shopping the internet has resulted in significantly lower quotes.  The best so far is the following company with a rate of $950.00:

Rob Neal
Logistics Manager
A-2-B Automobile Moving
888 2-SHIP-A-CAR
 (That's 888 274-4722)

If we transport our Vanagon, it won't be until May '99, so if you have any stories to share about your experience, I'd like to hear them.

Good Luck!
