Default Most economical way to get a car from PA to AZ?

Looking at buying a car in PA, zip 18901, and need shipped to Phoenix AZ 85027, or one of the bordering states, either southern CA, UT, CO, or NM. Anyone have connections or know of a good company with low rates?

I looked into this about 10 years ago for a car that was located in NJ, I found it was cheaper to fly out there and drive it back.

During the summer I wouldn't mind so much, but I don't want to drive a 5000 mile RWD V8 car 2200 miles in the winter/snow. Looking at a VERY low mileage (5100) 2009.5 G8 GT.
