Back in '02, I tried to buy a 2002 Z06 from JN Chevy, and they wanted $20,000 over MSRP!!! But the sad thing is, someone will pay that in Hawaii.

That's funny, you can ship a car there for $5k. Maybe we should all buy z06's, ship them over to hawaii and turn a 60k profit each.

I know JN Chevrolet all to well, sounds like those guys are still up to the same "poop", they were trying to sell a used C6 (Z51 equipped) vette for $69,999 the week I left.

When the new FORD GT hit the local HONOLULU FORD out there, they were asking $320K for that.

If you deploy out of Hawaii to say Japan or Guam or anywhere and can get a letter from your command proving it, you can use the NEX dealer service and buy any car you want for a very very good price. Just thought I would let you know.

Because, the Lexus dealership next to BMW/MINI of HONOLULU had a used red ZO6 (2003) at the time and wanted $48K for it when I had just left NFCU and the book value was $42.5K. I tried to work the deal and the salesman was just a rude little ***** that wouldn't even work with me. I told him they would not sell the car for that price and it would be priced at under $42K before it would be sold. This car had been on their lot for 4 months at this time and it was April. Well, the car sat there until September and the newspaper showed that the asking price was $42K. Stupid fool.
