Default Coming Back Home

I coming back to honolulu finally for my master program at UH. I was wondering if BMW or lexus over charges their cars there since thers only one dealership in hawaii. I was planning to buy bmw 335is and sell my is 250 in Los angeles and ship it to honolulu. Also, is there a lot of cops there giving out speeding ticket. Im probably going to live in downtown. Thanks I definitely miss Zippy's chilli

I dont think prices are that bad compared to the mainland for new cars. Plus, don't you need to pay 8 - 9% tax there....vs. 4.5% on Oahu....and then shipping it to Oahu is like $1300.

markup is crazy here..at BMW of Honolulu, a 135i costs about $45k after markup even though msrp is supposed to be $35k...have fun haggling!

as for tickets, yea, like judd said, it'll take some getting used to getting back to 50mph..

really so i have to drive 55 lol man when can i push my 335is to the limit. Is there at least a track there. If not theres no point of having a fast car in hawaii. Its better off every one just getting lexus is250 or bwm 328i
