I am looking at moving there ithis spring or early summer, so I have a decision to make. Do I sell my Jk and get another over there or do I ship this one. Are any of the rentals available for purchase and how much. we are looking to go to Kauai.

 

Wha?
Moving to Ha-vah-ee?

Say it aint so, weav. Say it aint so!

I can't imagine they ship all those rentals back to the 48.
Like Budget and National, there have to be places where they unload former rentals.

 

If its a perm move, just take it. By the time you pay sales tax, delivery charges and all the other fees associated with a new vehicle you will prob be out $$.

Kuai is awsome...was there for my honeymoon

 

Yes It is awesome!! Im headed over on the 23rd for a few interviews, Wish me luck. best part is when I get settled in you guys will have a place to stay when you come and visit.

 

So is that 23Feb or 23Mar?

 

When you are there take a side trip and check out the dealer and look up prices. Also call the rental companies and find out how they dispose of the used jeeps.

Also get an esimate on shipping costs.


When you have these facts and what you could sell yours for, then you can make an informed decision.

Good luck on the interview.

 

Is your job interview along the same line of work (Carpenting/Construction) that you're in? The two big companies here are Shioi construction & Unlimited construction...Best of luck on the interview....

There is only one jeep dealer here in Kauai.....Good luck bargaining with them...When I first bought my Jeep I went thru them...Didnt have a good experience...Purchased my Jeep in Oahu instead, about $5k cheaper....The majority of the rental jeeps I see here are "Xs" with soft tops, havent seen any Hardtops....If you can you should ship your Jeep over instead....
