M3 availability in HI

Shieldze1025 · 06-21-2010, 07:07 PM

Whats up everyone,

I'll be moving to Oahu beginning of next year, which is right around the time I plan on upgrading

My main concern is how easy it is to find E9x's on the island, a quick BMW CPO and autotrader search came up with 0 results. I would prefer it to be a pre-owned, but I'm getting the feeling that's gonna be difficult.

So my question is, how hard is it to find them?

Ricky, you want to get rid of your SC'd M3 already?

I might be willing to sell also, since I'm moving in a year and don't want to pay to ship it.

There’s only one BMW dealer on Oahu (there’s also one on Maui and one on the Big Island). You may be better off buying the M3 on the mainland (where there’s more supply, variety, and competition) and shipping it to HI for free on your PCS orders. If you’re paying to ship more than one POV to Hawaii, it costs about $1k from California and about $2k from the east coast.

The used car market on Oahu is pretty reasonable for buyers because many service members choose to sell their “extra” car when they PCS (rather than paying to ship it themselves). If you need two cars, then you may want to consider shipping the ///M and buying a good used "daily driver" after you arrive in HI (because there are always plenty of motivated sellers with PCS orders in hand).

Good luck.
