Unless you'rer under SOFA, you're looking at a lot of dough in road tax (twice a year, based on engine size/age), insurance (import + sports car classification = mega premium), registration (same formula), not to mention fuel costs. So that 10 mil car will end up costing you more like 14.

Oh, and parts....

Get a Tuscani instead dude, even the 2.7 liter ELISA if you must.

*shudder* why would anyone want such a hideous car. especially in seoul... its like driving a boat on trailer wheels.

So there is an import tax on an already imported vehicle? And sports classification mmmm

How about Volvo wagons, same criteria, for being a once import vehicle that is?

Road tax is not import duty.

If you buy it off of a soldier (if the car is registered to someone under SOFA) than you will have to pay import tax - because the car has not been officially imported into Korea yet.

If you find a foreign car sitting on a lot somewhere, you won't have to pay the import tax.

What people said about fuel + registration + 'road tax' + INSURANCE is very true though -- it will be expensive.

Cheers,

All accepted.

Still love the Mustang upholstery, and the Pontiac's legacy as bein' not BAD but a little naughty.

PS: Couldn't find any Elisa at Bobae. Are they are Korean make?

Looks like only a few of the 01s are at or just under 10 mil. Expect some sort of accident record with those, though of course that doesn't mean the car is a bad car.

Seems to be about 60/40 in regard to transmission manual/auto in favor of manual.

2.7 liters is still hefty when it comes to registration, road tax, etc. but manageable. The insurance premiums is where you'll get farked.

Suggest you give the guy I PMed you about a call for specifics.
