Should I take Evo to Germany?

Hello folks

I'm in the air force and just recieved an order to Germany for 2 years!!

I was wondering if I should sell it before I leave (EVO9SE 16000miles, $14000 left in loan) or take it with me(free shipping).

Selling Evo would obviously leave more $$ in my pocket for Euro trip but I'll probably end up driving some crappy old car and miss opportunity to drive Evo on Autobahn.


What would you do???

Sell your Evo before you go. Buy a car there to use. There are plenty of amazing cars you can pick up there to enjoy the autobahn with. Plus you will get to test drive all of them on the autobahn!

I'd take it. I had orders to UK and I took my EVO with me and I was just happy that I was driving something familiar to me. UKs laws are a little more strigent than Germany....you shouldn't have to do any or no conversions to meet the law requirements. Have fun on the autobahn.......you might run into my old evo over there. The guy I sold it to in the UK got stationed over there a few months ago.

If I had this opportunity, I would take it over there, but it depends on how much extra traveling you would wanna do. For me, an experience to drive on the autobahn would be amazing.

I will take it as well, because if you plan to buy another evo 9-10 overthere, they cost a lot.
Unless you want to get an Renault Clio
