I found this site. Seems professional and in English. A Korean coteacher told me this company is more reliable than your typical dishonest used car dealer in Korea. Prices might be more, but every car is inspected and comes with a limited warranty. Hope this helps you fellow ESLers....

There's a classified forum section too. (which is probably where this should be)
That's where I bought my car. It's worlds above what the common dealer lists for the same price.
Trust me you'll get a better deal from searching, evaluating, and inspecting than you will at a dealership or dealer site.

Dealerships exist for one purpose: To rake as much cash out of your pocket as they can. In every country. Period.

Dealerships feed off the "trust" factor a business name gives them. That being said, look at how many parasite dealership exist even when they screw every customer they meet in any country. The "it has a warranty" or "I can always take it back" feeling are there to squeeze more out of your pocket than common sense would allow.
Plus that warranty is VERY limited, on purpose.
That trust feeling gives way to spur of the moment buys, and poor decisions.

Still, that's my opinion, and like me you have yours too.
In the end we are both right, and what to do is up to you.

EDIT: Also they have this thing called "Edit" with a fancy button to use so you don�t have to double post. Or did you want to look like two different people? My guess is yes you did. How�s business at the dealership?
