Aloha everyone!
My husband and I are not sure what to do about our car situation and were hoping to get some advice from you all. We are moving to Hilo next month! My husband owns a Dodge Durango and I have an Oldsmobile Alero. We have heard that it's best to have a 4 wheel drive on the Big Island to get to many places. We may only be there a year as I have a year long contract. It would be a little expensive to ship two cars, but we could do it. My car gets about 10 miles more to the gallon, but his has 4 wheel drive. Here are some of the options we are discussing:
1. Ship both of our cars.
2. Ship only one of our cars and leave the other in storage or with relatives. But which one?
3. We were also considering buying a jeep wrangler and shipping only the jeep. It only gets a few more miles to the gallon than the Durango though.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
