I see that Amtrak will ship it from Lorton, VA to Sanford. Anyone have any experience doing this, good or bad? Is it worth it or should I just drive it all the way to FL and be done with it? Anything that I need to be aware of? Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!
Have you looked into having a transport company do it...There are many companys that will move door to door... I don't know what it will cost in comparison to what it costs to rent a car for the time you are in FL Have your car shipped down and then send it back...
