I figured it out that it takes about 6 weeks of not renting a car to break out even on the auto-train dealer over flight plus rental car.
As for the bedroom set, sometimes it's cheaper to sell the furniture and buy new after you arrive. I would check that part out, too, unless you're sentimentally attached to your furniture.

The OP was trying to figure out the best way to transport a car to TV, so a cost comparison between the auto-train and flying does not really seem to be of relevance to him.
I concur with your comment about the furniture. Best of luck to the OP in finding inexpensive options.
