You can buy a car from the "lemon Lot" on base. There are also many places in the vicinity offering their wares. Everything is catered to for the huge American population that resides in the area. I lived there for 8 years and hated it. If you want to experience Germany at it's best then try and live 30 minutes way from the base. Every town near the base is teeming with Americans and it has infiltrated German society in the area to a huge extent. Germans in the area will either love you or hate you.
Kaiserslautern is grotty, it's an industrialized town with little to offer.
This is a crap website but it has a lot of info about the KMC
germany infositeLived there for 4 years off base. It was great. You should be able to get everything you need there. There are always people leaving so buying second hand anything is not a problem.
