Hey guys,



I`m currently in Korea for at least 13 more months, and I would like to purchase a car - Preferably an older Sonata or anything with a 4G series as I am very familiar with the repairs and the tool purchase would be minimal on my end.



I walked into an auto parts store here and found out that 4L of oil will set me back about $12, a filter around $2, an outer tie rod $9, pads $25... So, it is enticing for me!



Does anybody know any Korean websites that sell cars? I`ve got access to many Koreans that can translate for me, so any suggestions would be welcome.



Thanks!

 

The infamous Jed has returned - from Korea?!



Sorry man, not familiar with any used car sites. I'll ask around and let you know if I find anything.



Where are you at? Somewhere around Seoul?

 

No help here. Let us know what you find though!

 

Hah, I'm in Daegu Korea right now, trying my hand at teaching - I mostly wanted to get out of IT for a bit, finished U, paid off all my debts (thanks in part to an old car that requires no payments and got loads of job experience in the process... I wanted to travel, plus I wanted to work with kids so I can better interact with them (as I plan on having my own within 2-3 years). So far I have been to Japan with plans to visit Australia.



Its going OK for now, but I neeeeeeed a car to get out of the residence - Plus I've been driving since I was 16, I can't imagine I will last long on buses and KTX trains (despite their speed) so I am looking for something to give me some freedom.



Infamous? Well, as long as SOMEONE remembers me...

 

Why no pony?

 

I wish, the oldest car I have seen on the road is the Kia Pride (Ford Fiesta) from the mid 90s... Actually I saw a what looked like 1991 Excel sedan yesterday.



I have been told by my Korean friends that Pony was a rare sight 6 years ago, now they're nowhere to be found.



I'm teaching a bunch of 16 year olds, and I had a slide of a Pony up (for introduction) - they heard of one, but never saw one outside a museum.



I has a sad.

 

Craigslist.

 

Come to think of it.. I never really saw any when I was there.

 

Did you ever check it out yourself? There's 7 postings... In a month.



I need something Korean, that Koreans themselves use: I will find nothing in English... I have a lead on one Sonata, but he's in Seoul - I might check it out over the weekend though.

 

No I have not. Was just a thought. Good luck in your search and happy travels.
