Buying A Car Overseas
Benefits to Buying A Car Overseas
The opportunity to purchase a new car at substantial savings is one of the benefits of being stationed overseas. Here are some things to consider:
- Many dealers offer rebates, discounts, and other incentives to U.S. military personnel stationed overseas, making some cars far less expensive than they would be in the states.
- You will most likely not pay any local taxes outside of the United States.This can contribute greatly to your savings on a vehicle.
- Your current vehicle may not be suitable for the environment overseas. Instead of transporting or storing your vehicle it may be more cost effective to purchase a car in your new destination.
- Many countries have strict inspection laws. You may be required to spend additional money upgrading or repairing your existing vehicle to pass inspection. This may make a new car purchase an even more financially sound choice.
