I am down in Songtan, Pyongtaek.

 

Taxes are about 30%. It used to be about 100% and as Mump explained it, why imports are rare. Any import is probably a good sign they are wealthy. For example, I saw the list of a BMW 530i at about $80K..ridiculous. Hope you can bring your evo into Korea.

 

Yeah, I just renewed my insurance. The US value of my Evo is $24.5k according to them, the Korean value is about $42k.... now add 30% to that for taxes.
Now don't quote me on this, but I think that 30% is for european and maybe us cars, i heard somewhere that the tax on a japanese car might be more.
Now the insurance on my car is sweet. $1092 a year. Insurance is based on value... so my AWD, turbocharged, rip up the road, race car is the same as any other $25k car on the road. tee-hee.

 

seen a silver evo 8 at osan bx about a month ago.

 

that be me... do you see the beautiful evo 1 around too? i love that car.

 

I guess I figured out who's EVO I saw putting around Osan then. I've seen the EVO 1 multiple times, never moving though.

 

yup, still here..... only 8 more months to go.

 

2 year stay? 5.5 months for me. Then off to Germany.

 

yup...life as a korean linguist sucks. 2yr tours here about every other year.. ughhhh.

 

i left osan a few months ago... i think i inprocessed with the guy in the silver evo. now i'm in japan and looking into getting a evo 5 or 6.. only seen one evo on base and a few nice hooked up off base.. oh and some hooked up evo wagons in tokyo too.. pretty sweet.

 

Mump, can't wait for you to get here. I have saved a parking spot for you at the evo corner on post!

 

I have seen the infamous Evo 1 twice. Found out he's an F-16 pilot.

 

that is the new owner of it. the guy that bought it over was a MSgt

 

When did they start an evo conner? A lot must have changed there since I jumped ship to Northern VA in 2005
