Thank you.
My wife planned to come back again and help me pack and ship, but that isn’t really practical now given the quarantine keeps extending. I’m so thankful of friends here on island that help, not just physically but mentally. It isn’t fun being alone like this. I love my wife and kids beyond words and can’t wait to see them again. I’m going to miss our daughter’s confirmation this Sunday at Church, without Covid I wouldn’t have blinked and flown home and been there for it, flown back to Maui next week. I’m sick beyond words I’m going miss that.

I know some keep track, I sold the Jeep more than I paid, and if I can, I’ll sell my 2019 Ram 1500 Limited 4x4 as well, saving me shipping it home. Used car values have skyrocketed and its worth more than what I paid. That said I question if anyone is in the mood to spend 50k on a used truck, even though it shows higher than that for Maui. I spot checked, but equivalent 2020 new that’s identical to mine is $72K at the dealership. I always look at comps like you would selling a house, they are around 51K, doesn’t mean anyone is in the mood though. I have a nice Land Rover collecting dust in my Colorado home, old 2006 but fully loaded and currently only gets driven if I remind my wife, not good as Land Rovers don’t deal well with sitting still. Purchased new by me and long since paid off. Don’t need two vehicles when I get home. Wife has a Subaru which we love.

Totally unrelated to Hawaii, but used car values are up big time nationwide. I have a few Car forums I follow and people are seeing 3k to 6K increase in value, enough so they can early terminate a lease, or buy/lease something else. Worth looking into if it helps.
