Fred,
the person going to Ramstein is going as a service person and can sell the
car if it is over 3 years old with no taxes except for mehrwertsteuer (added
value tax) and this is the responsibility of the buyer.
Given that, I don't think the person going to Germany wanted to sell his TR4,
he just saw it as a requirement because he could only ship one car at the
military's expense and was looking at his family's needs before his own.
