New cars in Taiwan are generally more expensive than in the West. Used cars can, however, be purchased for as little as NT$70,000 to NT$140,000. Those who buy cars must have auto insurance, which runs NT$7,500 to NT$14,000 per year. Registration and fuel taxes run another NT$17,500.
The advantage of cars is that they are safer than motorbikes--especially if one commutes long distances or takes long trips on the weekends. (For safety reasons, teachers with children should seriously consider a car.) Make sure, however, that your apartment comes with a parking space because parking illegally can be expensive. If your car is towed, you must pay NT$1800 to get it back.
