Well, after deducting 960 * $5 fee ~= $5k, plus 960 * unknown bus fee (let's assume it's rounds to $1k), it's more like a $10k car. Also, this car is given to her, so her value for the car may not be $16k (imagine she's given $16k towards the purchase of any car, she'll probably ended up with a different car). Finally, not sure of tax laws in Korean, so she may have to pay taxes on it before the $6k fee deductions. She still comes out ahead, but probably close to half of $16k value. But her fame from the story is priceless.
