Bought a VW Passat Wagon

I bought a used car using a Seattle Craigslist, Volkswagen Passat GLX V6 4Motion Wagon. It has as same green color as the below picture.



The guy who sold the car put the first aid kit on its trunk with a memo written 'For buyer'. And he gave me a whole repair records. Thanks him.

It has powerful and silent engine with AWD(All wheel drive). I fall in love with this car. I hope to be no accidents, no troubles and only happy memories with this car.

(드디어 중고차를 장만했습니다. 폭스바겐. 차를 장만하려고 찾고 서베이하고 보러 다닌 얘긴 나중에 정리해 올리겠습니다. 미국와서 3주 만에 개인간 거래로 차 장만하기. 재미나더군요. 지금은 트렁크의 개털 때문에 세차하러 가 있습니다. 세차 공임이 허거덕이더군요. 잘 아껴 줄테니 미국 떠나는 그날까지 고장없이 사고없이 우리 식구 태우고 잘 굴러다니기를)

Buying a car - What a difficult in US!

Let me show you how to buy a car in Korea. Every motor companies like Hyundai have their own agencies. The car price that a buyer will actually pay is almost same as the list price on the catalog released by motor company. There are no kind-of car dealers.

So to buy a car, after choosing a trim and checking price on the catalog and then go to a agency nearby and pay for it. That's it. It's up to you how to pay, a credit card, cash or getting loan. Usually 1 week later, a agency will take your new car near your home.

In US, there are lots of dealers who sell a same car with different packages and varying prices. I am confused with new terms such as MSRP, in-voice price, OTD, ARP.... Above all things there are too many fascinating cars in US to choose just one car and I have no enough budget for it.

(몇 일 째 미국에서 차 사는 법을 공부하고 있다. CarBuyingTips.Com을 들여다 보고 있는데, 한정된 예산에 차는 두대를 굴려야 되겠고 새차 헌차 차 종류는 많지 차 사는 시스템을 좀 알려고 하니 뭐가 이리 복잡한지 정리가 하나도 안되고 있다.)
