Hello, There are alot of Xterra on all Islands. If you live near(staying) the ocean, salt spray will rust your auto faster. (Within a couple of hundred yards or so.)

I have been taking my 1986 dodge ram to the beach/camping for over 15 years,(Very little rust,corrions from salt air. (just a little on the roof edge.)

It is cheaper to send your car than buy one here! Hawaii prices are higher,due to shipping and lack of competion.

Salt air is a problem, especailly if you park your car near the beaches/ocean.(with 100 yards or so)

Expect some corroions...for the long tern

It is not as bad as you think...

some auto do rust more than others...I would ship my own car here.

AGAIN: It is not as bad as you think...! Kauai is a very small Island. (the oldest). The traffic is very bad (only three main roads) to the center leading to the Lihue town.

Expect very heavy traffic in the mornings and afternoons and slow drivers.

Enjoy the Island of Kauai, my Mom was born there...Aloha
