93' Hyundai Galloper 2.5L, Standard, 2dr (5 seater), 190,000kms with 32" tires and a nice stereo system:



Checked on Encar and this jeep is selling for 1.3~1.6, I would ask 1.4Million, here is one selling for 1.5 and it has double the mileage, these diesel engines go forever!

It has a nice dent on the right side of the rear bumper (a gift from someone while I was away), the cost of a new bumper is 30k+ labour. I know where a parts shop is to get things at wholesale and a place that charges for just installation, great service. Jeep has been regularly serviced, oil/filters/tranny fluid including fuel filters (something most overlook) and over the last few years I have replaced/ had the following work done:

timing belts (280k) only need to do it every 80k (so 60k left)
radiator (240k) 5 years ago (won't need another one of these)
gear stick (80k) 4 years ago ( " " " " " )
starter (150k) 3 years ago ( " " " " " )
inj ectors (220k) 2 years ago ( " " " " " )
crank case seal (50k) 1 year ago ( " " " " " )
clutch assembly (100k) 1 month ago ( " " " " " ) everything was replaced
Clutch Plate (330) yesterday( " " " " " )
new horn HONK!

My mechanic looked over the engine and transmission yesterday and said he would give the jeep an overall 'B' grade and that it had more than a few good years left on it. I got most of the above done exceptionally cheap because I buy the parts wholesale and just paid for labour.

Also carried out the following preventative/upgrade maintenance:

entire front steering: tie rod ends, bushings, sway-bar suspension -100k (last year)
new set of glow plugs- 50k (last year)
180w stereo with Sony speakers- 200k (last year), nice loud stereo, good sound, accepts Mp3's, USB and SDHC cards as well as an AUX port for Ipods etc.

This is a very reliable jeep, great on fuel, get about 450km to a tank(city), I've driven it all over Korea and even up a few mtns. It is mechanically sound and I really hate to part with it, If I could take it home with me I would. All the major items that may need repair or replacement on a used vehicle have already been done, so that takes a lot of the worry out of buying.

Seats 4 comfortably, and the rear seats collapse for transport of larger items or a couple of bikes.

Looking to sell at the end of June.

interested for sure, what is the insurance cost like on a yearly basis??

I would be keen on buying it as long as insurance is reasonable.

Let me know and we can take it from there

Cheers

insurance depends on your licence and driving history . when I bought it it was my first car here and it cost 600k for the year and has dropped every year and is now 300k/a.
