Used Car Buying Tips - Buying A Korean Surplus Car
We are no strangers to the K-Pop wave, from their noodles to their Koreanovelas. And for those
looking for an affordable vehicle option, going for a Korean surplus car is worth a look. But as
with other vehicles, careful research must be done and reading my tips on buying one is
included. Here are my handy tips for you.
TIPS TO REMEMBER:
Korean vehicles are already left hand drive, so you are spared from the conversion
problems that their Japanese counterparts face.
Make sure that you know where the parts for these vehicles are available for purchase,
and also have counterparts if the model was not sold locally. If you bought a Hyundai
Starex from a surplus dealer, parts are easy to acquire but for vehicles not available like
the Hyundai Galloper, you can use Mitsubishi Pajero parts for them.
Bring a mechanic with you to check if the unit has problems and drives well. Do not
forget the test drive.
Since South Korea experiences snow, make sure that the tires are replaced.
Papers and taxes are very important especially if they are lacking, you will be a target of
the Highway Patrol Group for your car being smuggled.
There you have it, study your options and chose wisely.
