When my wife and I did the 2 week builder's assist in Redmond, we had to 
drive the plane back to Columbia SC.  The stub wing was bonded on and 
the landing was in it.  We rented the biggest Ryder/Budget truck and put 
the Legacy in at an angle.  It was on the rotiserrie and  fit in the 
truck with maybe 3-4 inches to spare on each wingtip. 

2,400 miles and 3 days later we arrived safely here in SC.  Rental cost 
around 700 for the week with a 3,000 mile limit.  Price was off their 
internet site and significantly cheaper than calling them.  This was 
November, 2002.
