From another thread:
I am looking into getting a new car, and was wondering how moves down the road might play into the decision. I really dislike sedans to begin with, and come moving time it seems like it could potentially cost me some DITY $$ with what I can move myself in a sedan as opposed to an SUV or wagon. But I'm willing to bet most people have sedans, so obviously it can be done.
I'm looking at the Outback, particularly, but I'm not sure I can justify the extra thousands over a better-equipped Altima/Fusion/Accord.
Your thoughts?
My recommendation is the DITY move, now called a "personally procured move". It is $$.
I was a fan of the partial DITY, myself. Haul as much stuff (weight sets, bags of concrete, 50 gallon drums of water...you know...the usual) as you can pack into your truck and let get paid for it. Let the Navy move the rest of it for free.
