Say I was to buy a car in Indiana. What's the easiest way for me to get to IN from PA and drive the car back? (Minus flying)

I can't get an Amtrak quote for some reason

Meh, if you take Amtrak you have a 50% chance of flying anyway so you might as well fly.

Cheapest way is Greyhound for sure.

I'd second Greyhound. If you have luck like mine, you'll have peculiar people sit in the seats nearby, so bring headphones or a mini-fort. Otherwise, it's a pretty cheap and reliable way to go.

Go with Greyhound, Amtrak might be a bit expensive.

Greyhound may be the cheapest but will take the longest. Just guessing but will probably be around 18hrs or so due to stops along the way..

I doubt 18 hours.

from NY to DC is only like 4-5 hours.

to Indy it might be max 8 hours.

I think amtrak is the slowest.. I wanted to take train from south carolina to st. louis once and it was going to take 2 days.. had to go from here to NYC and from NYC to chicago and then from chicago to st. louis.. greyhound has got to have a more direct route!

I went from Green Bay to home here in western PA, It took over 24hrs to get to Erie, it would of taken another 6rs to get to clarion about a 1 1/2 hrs away. GB would have been about a 10hr drive in a car. Never Again!!!!! I won't go
