I can't remember the exact amount but it is the reason why 90% of the cars here are hyundia, kia, dawoo and why everyone stares as the evo rolls down the street.

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.

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.

mump Jun 5, 2007 03:45 PM
yup, still here..... only 8 more months to go.

PsychoSoldier Jun 6, 2007 06:14 PM
2 year stay? 5.5 months for me. Then off to Germany.

mump Jun 7, 2007 01:49 AM

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

mump Sep 23, 2007 01:34 PM

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