That pricing isn't really out of whack. My recent endeavors in shipping cars taught me that it's usually about $1/mi. I've got an independent I can recommend if you want. They've shipped two cars for me in the last 3 weeks and I never worked with them before that. I learned that most are brokers who put out a bid on a car and a driver takes the bid. Intercity owns their own trucks and can be a little slower on pick up but it's all contained within their system.

I've wired money on cars many times. Get a copy of the title up front. Get it overnighted to you once the funds hit. There can be hiccups but they are usually minor.
