Well I did it. At the time of visa change (from D8 to E7) she came in as "personal effects" and - happily - emission test exempt.

Insurance OK, if expensive at around 1.5 m KRW.

Downside is that I cannot sell her here but have to take her out eventually.


You may be able to sell it to someone in Korea on SOFA status at that time.

That's a good idea, hadn't thought of that.

And she is an American car.

Good work!

Regarding later?

DUMP it in the (Han)river after 30 years! No one will notice. Anyone comes asking? Just raise your arms in an "idunno" position, and say, "hanguksaramdoduknom." Should suffice.


Dump after another 30 years? Nah, she's worth better than that!

And she doesn't rust ...

Is this a WOMAN or a CAR?!!!!?

Ok. Dump after FIFTY, if you're BOTH still living.

The Korean humidity WILL get you both!
