We need a new washing machine and can get good deals at the Sears scratch

But it seems that new washing machines may have some sort of drum lock that
you remove after instalation. If it has one, well if there is lock for
upright shipping what about no lock transported on it side.

Oh and of course the reason is we can transport it on its side ways but not
upright in my wife Vue.

Call the manufacturer and ask them.

Depending on how good a deal it is, you might be able to rent a
trailer, like an landscaping trailer, for a few hours at a fairly
cheap rate.

I once rented a landscaping trailer for something like $30 to bring
home a "last year's model" lawn tractor. We got over $250 off the list
price, so the $30 didn't hurt too much.

An 8'x5' UHaul trailer is only $19/day. I've been renting one on Saturday and
only have to return it by Monday to get the one day rate (the UHaul store is
closed on Sunday - but I normally drop it off late Saturday night).
