What you get, start to finish: guidance through purchase, financing, insurance, customs clearance, and registration. Used Car Guys doesn’t finance in-house, but works with a network of independent lenders who specialize in overseas military vehicle financing — so you’re not left figuring out the overseas car-buying process alone.
US-spec or EU-spec? Used Car Guys sells both. US-spec vehicles can be shipped back to the United States when you PCS out; EU-spec vehicles cannot. That’s why every vehicle — regardless of spec — comes with a guaranteed buy-back offer at fair market price, so there’s always a straightforward way to sell before you leave.
Who can buy: active-duty U.S. military, DoD civilians, contractors, NATO personnel, and other allied forces. Customers with SOFA status can purchase tax-free; customers without SOFA status can still buy, but pay applicable tax.
