Land Rover

[Andrew]

You are using many words here. The point is you said "Sell your repaired Land Rover to a newbie!" You imply taking advantage of a potential buyer who may not be aware of the fact that you cannot have the vehicle serviced on island. Don't try to squirm out from a really rotten attitude you expressed.

goodness, Andrew, lighten up ...

a car repaired under a recall is not a lemon.
My Honda hybrid had a recall, which was fixed, and then it was fine. Recalls are not uncommon. A lemon is that rare car that was made so poorly it can't be fixed.

If John decides to sell his car and buy one with an on-island dealership, as a result of his experiences, that is not unethical.

Plenty of people, not even in Hawai`i, buy specialty cars because they love them, then find them too high maintenance -- selling them to someone who loves the ride, who can either afford the maintenance or is still in the phase the first person was when buying the car. Aloha or not aloha has nothing to do with it.

As with real estate -- you honestly disclose any known defects, and leave it to the buyer to make a decision.
