wow, they're still using wehrmacht plates on their cars. I thought it was for official vehicles only.

I forget if he is an Oberst or an OberstLeutnant, but in any case I call him "The Exchange Officer" lol. He is assigned here at West Point for 3 or 4 years. He is the second one that I know of to go down to the dealer near DC and buy a brand new Passat wagon to eventually ship back to Germany when he leaves.

well, considering how much cheaper new VWs are in the US due to the exchange rate, can't say I blame him.

I wonder if he gets a better deal on military/diplomatic sales in the US from VW than we do here?
The VW and Audi sales are a joke and not even worth it. BMW or Volvo are the only ones worth a damn buying from over here.

The "Foreign Exchange Officer" that was here from around 2002 to 2004 bought a brand new Passat wagon (at the same dealer in the vicinity of DC) 6 months before he left. I spoke to him while he was filling up at the AAFES gas station, (thinking he had just shipped it over) and he told me that he would be saving 6 to 7,000$ including shipping and any TUV conversions from a similarly optioned wagon in Germany. And that was without any diplomatic discount. He just used Virginia plates, not Euro plates.

Nice, I lived across the street from the cemetery a long time ago. Wonder if those houses are still there? I had a good time there.
