For what it's worth, I checked on shipping one of my cars last night. I thought that I would price out the oldest. A 2006 Corolla has an excise tax of $867. Crowley shipping for from JAX to SJ was $1170, plus $250 for insurance up to $25,000 value if desired.
The link below will save a couple of steps navigating SURI. It will provide the amount of excise tax due. Crowley link is provided, too.
