Why Choose Used Car Guys in K-Town, Germany
Located in the heart of Kaiserslautern near Ramstein Air Base, Used Car Guys is perfectly positioned to serve the American military community in K-Town Germany.
But you don’t have to live in K-Town to buy from them, they have locations across Germany and even in Aviano, Italy, plus internet sales support and a delivery truck to get your vehicle to wherever you are.
More on that in a bit.
We know what you’re thinking—used car dealership? Sounds like that shady lot back in the States with the inflatable tube man out front.
Used Car Guys is nothing like that. Their knowledgeable staff and customer-first approach make the car buying process stress-free, even if it’s your first time purchasing overseas.
Plus, fun fact… most of the employees come from the United Kingdom!
US-Spec Vehicles Tailored for Military Personnel
Unlike typical German car dealerships, Used Car Guys specializes in US-spec vehicles that are easy to register on base and ship back to the U.S. at the end of your tour. That means peace of mind and no surprises when it’s time to PCS again.
However, many Americans arriving in Germany aren’t quite sure how to register their POV on base. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide based on this video walkthrough:
Get Your Orders & Documents Ready – Bring your official orders, ID card, and bill of sale or registration paperwork.
Secure Insurance – You’ll need proof of liability insurance. Many military families use providers like Mirascon.
Get a Temporary Registration Packet – Visit your base’s Vehicle Registration Office to receive temporary plates and paperwork.
Complete Vehicle Inspection – Your POV needs a successful safety inspection (TÜV equivalent). On-post inspections are free, but you can also go off-post if needed (for a fee).
Return for Final Registration – Once your car passes inspection, return to Vehicle Registration with your paperwork to receive your permanent plates.
Used Car Guys walks you through every one of these steps so nothing gets lost in translation. From inspection to paperwork, they make sure your vehicle is fully road-legal and base-compliant before you ever get behind the wheel.
Psst.. here’s the Top 5 things that will FAIL a German car inspection.

Test Driving a Car in Germany
Thinking about taking a car for a spin before you commit? Test driving a POV in Germany is totally doable, but there are a few things you’ll need to have ready. Based on our breakdown at 2:51 in this video, here’s what you need:
U.S. Forces Certificate of License: You must present your valid military driver’s license issued in Germany (often referred to as a USAREUR or NATO license).
Be Covered: Insurance must be in place to legally test drive a vehicle. The dealership typically provides coverage for the test drive.
ID Verification: Bring a valid military ID and your passport or U.S. Forces ID card.
Schedule in Advance: Contact the dealership via website form, WhatsApp, or phone to book your test drive in advance so they can prep the vehicle.
Used Car Guys makes this easy and efficient. They’ll walk you through everything, make sure you’re covered, and even set up the route so you can test how the car handles on German roads before you buy.

Submit Your Vehicle Details: Fill out the quick online form with your car’s make, model, mileage, and condition.
Get a Free Valuation: Their team will assess your vehicle and provide a no-obligation offer—fast.
Schedule Drop-Off or Inspection: Bring your car to a nearby dealership or schedule a convenient inspection.

You can even reserve your car online while you get “all your ducks in a row,” knowing it’ll be ready and waiting for you when you arrive.
