Should I put my Z in storage again or sell?

Lemers · 06-01-2011, 09:40 PM

Some people on this forum are already foreseeing the end of the Z. So you may want to hold on to it.

I find myself in such a similar predicament, Korea and a Z not even a year old. Except that I will be there for two years vs. one.

Kunsan or Osan? or other....

I have been tagged for Osan. Yes E-6 and below can drive with Commanders approval but...since that approval cannot be optained until after arrival shipping of POVs is not authorised. Atleast that is what I am being told.

Usually the commanders approval involves some sort of hardship or work requirement

Being that its the shop i use, i would of course say have z1 do the work

I would sell. Your gonna be in korea for 3 years but the car will be in storage for half that? Why wouldn't it be in there the full 3 years? By that time im sure there will be an even better z. If you really miss it you could prob get a good used one. But yeah bank that money. You wont have storage fees.

Read the OP again. He's going to korea for 1 yr. He's been in germany before that and stored it when he deployed. By the time his 1 yr in Korea is up the car is 3 yrs old and been stored for 1.5 of it.

Also depends if is an accompany or un unaccompany tour. However I don't think to many people want to take the Z to Korea.

The traffic is terrible and the koreans drive like mad crazy people. Better to get a korean made car over there if you can, also the labor in case it breaks down would be cheaper.

BTW, if is only 1 yr tour I would leave the car in storage. I know is hard but I left another car that I had almost three year in storage, but it was in my garage and I drove when I came back in mid-tour leave. But I don't know the OP storage situation.

OSAN, and from what I have heard and read, E-6 can drive with commanders approval. Me personally, I am taking my mountain bike. I am looking forward to not having to deal with parking, traffic, door dings etc.

Lemers · 06-02-2011, 10:20 AM

Kunsan onbase parking wasn't bad. And it kinda a small town so traffic and streets weren't that bad. Osan is a different story though a lot more traffic. The highways weren't bumper to bumper either. Japan has a lot worse traffic. Small narrow streets rush hour 24/7. I was at kunsan in 05-06 and saw my first 05 mustang GT there that belonged to one of the airman.
