Has anyone paid out of pocket to ship a POV to Germany when on unaccompanied 1-year orders?

In 2014 it was about $3K. Buy a beater off the lemon lot for $500 bucks. The owner will have to have it pass TUV inspection before it can be sold so you won't get screwed.

You won't be able to drive for two weeks anyway. That's the wait list for the driver course and exam for the USAREUR license.

It's over a grand, plus fees. More if you want it delivered instead of driving it from port.
You can also buy a used car on post for about $1200-$2500 and sell it on the same lot when you leave.

I have had three overseas tours and do not believe it is worth it out of pocket. I would either buy new in Germany and ship that back (some really nice options) or buy used. Study up on the driving test, it is like no other. It used to be 190 something, USAEUR (SP?) policy. Google it, the really arrogant people take 2-3 times to pass.
