I live on Oahu and chose Honolulu Ford because I had bad experiences with Cutter Ford years ago. I can tell you that I've gotten almost no customer support from Honolulu Ford. I've emailed and called several times and they have given me no information and have not returned my calls except to sell me a car now. They are were also clueless regarding the Bronco when I asked.
I dont have a good feeling about any Oahu dealer so your numbers above don't surprise me. If you find a good dealer, please share and I'll do the same!
No, because of the Jones Act (requiring a US flagged vessel) options are limited and shipping to Hawaii is very expensive. I would estimate around 10k conservatively to move this in a 20' ocean container.

The 3 years I spent on Oahu the only dealer that didn't add a market adjustment fee was VW and iirc the Dodge dealer even added an extra delivery fee. Needless to say I never purchased a new vehicle while there but knew many people that just went to the mainland and shipped it themselves and still saved! Think I read that Matson went up on prices but from west coast it shouldn't be more than $2500, so even buying at MSRP in California you'd be ahead and their "deal". If you wanted to make a vacation out of it fly into Granger and drive the couple of days to the port yourself and I would think that would put you around MSRP all in.

That’s actually a great deal considering you only have one Ford dealership on the entire Island! I may rethink my plans to buy mine in metro Detroit and ship it. The dealerships here are not taking any money off. Did you get it in writing and signed by the general manager? Also what model of Bronco and color and how many doors are you getting?

That’s incorrect, I’m currently in Michigan and for me to ship a bronco to Hawaii will be less than $3000 and half of that fee is taking it from Michigan to California.

No, I just calculated a Jeep from L.A. to Honolulu for 1500. 8 years ago I was quoted around $2500 from Oahu to SC when I wanted to keep my beater Miata.

Just wait it out. I'm sure some will be available at MSRP once everyone's orders get fullfilled. Try and tell them if they want a deal at MSRP or no sale at all? Not only won't they not make a sale at retail but loose the opportunity at more allocations.
Trying to get one on the island, but just got off the phone with my dealer, and I might need to find a new one ?
Yup prices went up.
Flying to mainland has been a thought! If there were a way to do it and still get it in late 2021 or early 2022 then I just might do that. I plan to go to the mainland over a couple times during that time frame so wouldnt mind a buy, drive, ship ... vacation!
Just called the maui dealership. At least $5k markup. Guy said they have a VERY SMALL amount of allocations, wouldn't tell me how many reservations though. Talked to hilo after, who now also have ADM
