I don't see any problem with it. I live in Hawaii and as long as you take care of our car there shouldn't be problem. A couple things to be aware of is that we go through brakes a lot faster because of the stop and go traffic. Not a lot of highway driving like on the mainland. As such, mileage will typically be lower than same year cars on the mainland. Rust. The car should be alright if the owner took care of the car. We do have a lot of salt in the air and it rains frequently. Hope this helps. that are transported to the US mainland ? are there going to be any rust problem because of the weather?
