The factor would again depend on the size and probably result is some very big numbers, but hypothetically if you can make boots of speed you can make a carrack of speed. You just need a literal boatload of go-faster leaves (or whatever the material component is). To summon a vehicle via spell, I'd set the minimum at the spell level that allows spells the make buildings that big and allows spells offering equivalent mobility. So to make a magic wagon, you'd need at least that much interior space (rope trick covers that at level 2) and lets you travel at least that fast magically (phantom steed covers the horses at level 3) so I'd make it at least level 3.  (I don't know the designers' reasons, but I do know the best time to add magic vehicles to your game is when you're sick of dealing with overland travel - and that will vary quite a bit from table to table.)</blockquote>
