Ideas for getting Boxster to Virginia?

[SigmaPi]

So I called U-haul and asked about renting a car hauler to get the Boxster out to Virginia. From Colorado to Virginia it's about $680. For that type of dough, I am considering buying a flat bed. The problem is most of the trailers are about $2500 or so for a new one. Finding a used one is hard to do around here. I have also contemplated hiring a truck to take it but they all seem shady. I read all the horror stories about someone not getting their car for 3 months or it being damaged and I can't bring myself to do it. Does anyone else have any suggestions??
