Tax-Free Purchase
Bavarian Motor Cars Used Cars program in Germany is tax-free for all active-duty military personnel, DoD Civilian ID Card holders and DoD contractors on temporary (TDY) or permanent (PCS) orders abroad at the time of purchase.
Your used car purchase is tax-free whilst you are overseas provided you complete all necessary applications as directed by our qualified sales staff.
When returning to the States, provided your deployment lasted at least 140 days, you won't even have to pay import duty on the shipment, once you have a pre registration on the vehicle and some miles to show usage before entry.
Some states exempt military personnel from sales tax upon registration of your vehicles upon return to the USA or allow a trade allowance for any vehicle traded in against your new purchase! However, you should clarify this with DMV.
