I rented a 348 spider on Maui a couple of years ago. This particular car was in decent shape despite 84,000 miles on the clock. There was a second spider for rent which was not in good shape. Another 348 (TS) was not available at all since the motor was all but blown up.
I got 6 hours behind the wheel of the 348 and it was fantastic. Don't think I would have bought it though... |

Whatever you do, don't buy one of those rentals. I have first hand knowledge of the abuse they go through... |

It has to be currently licensed and insured and safety inspected. And you're supposed to wash it too. Besides that, it's about $1,000 shipping to the west coast. |

seems that way since there are a US state and I see plenty of Hawaii tagged cars on the streets. Just gotta pay to ship it and then I am sure the dock will want some type of registration paperwork. I think.....
actually, just call the DMV/tag office |

I know there's been many posts about importing a Euro car to the states.
However, I am curious about importing a car from Hawaii. I found something I like.
It is a US version, titled and registered in Hawaii. Will the DMV allow me to simply register/title it as if I bought the car within the mainland states?
Thanks! |
