   Driveaways will only let you have the car for a certain
   period of time - usually a rough estimate of the amount of
   time the trip will take, plus a day or two at most.

   A good site to check out if you want the car for a longer
   period and you've got a bit of cash to spare is wheels9.com
   They sell you a car and guarantee to buy it back off you on
   the other coast

6. my two cents Added by: stk

   One thing to consider is that the used car market in LA
   offers better value than in NYC. This is due to the far
   greater number of cars per capita in LA, the faster rate at
   which Angelenos buy or lease new cars, and the bad winter
   weather in NYC. The point is that you can buy a used car
   cheaper in LA, and the odds are pretty good that you could
   sell it for equivalent value in NYC even after two months
   on the road. Advertising it as a "California car" should
   help a lot.
