Is it worth selling my older vehicle now before I move to Germany and buy a "for now" car while im there, OR just bring my jeep with me and finish a few repairs so as to pass the emissions testing there? (hopefully pass emissions)

Having served four years in Germany I would wait until you get there and buy a car from the lemon lot. I bought one for 500.00 that lasted me two years and later a BMW that lasted not only the other two years I was there but I turned around and sold it at a profit.

Get rid of it. Purchase a hoopty here and save the money. Depending on where your assignment is; lets use my location as a start. http://www.grafyardsales.com or go to google and type in Bookoo and the installation. There u will find vehicles for sale. Also, get your insurance thru USAA.

Like I told my oldest when he was leaving to Germany 'Better to have, and not need, than to need, and not have' As a Jeep owner myself I would bring the Jeep and that would save you from having to buy a hoopty that may or may not work out for you. I have a friend who poored money into his hoopty (BMW) while he was there. The best thing about Europe is that you really dont need a vehicle public transporation is more then sufficent. Best of luck and enjoy the assignment.
