Just arrived in Korea. I am looking for a cheap and well maintained car with fair gas mileage.

I have an international license. Would it be ok to buy a car with that?[/url]

Just sent you a PM, please check your inbox.
I am assuming you will not be able to reply to PM as you just joined, so contact through the email i sent or share your email.
Yes you can drive with your Intl DL for 1 year from date of entry to Korea, but if you are staying longer its advisable to exchange it to a Korean DL.
The following links can guide how to easily change your native DL into a Korean DL:
