I wouldn't buy a car sight unseen either. Vehicles get used hard here. Salt, heat, bad roads ...
I've seen cars turn out to be OK and turn out to be spectacularly not OK, and in-between, and with no recourse.
I don't know this dealership, but if they don't offer a warranty, you are at risk of getting a problem car.
There will always be more cars ...
Sometimes it's better to go to Oahu and get a car, and ship it over here. Obviously it's not terriibly convenient, but cars here seem to be marked up with the costs of shipping either way. Either you pay more because it's here, or you pay to get it here.
