More details to this question:
I am in the military and currently stationed overseas. If I am forced to send the car to her, I would have to come out of pocket about $2000. I want to just sell the car and give her what it is worth.

If in the midst of a divorce in California the Summons contains restraining orders from disposing of property prior to a final judgment. You can enter a written agreement with your spouse to do just what you would like which sounds like a good financial decision for the community. Good luck.

Is she on the title? If not, sell the car and give her half.

Speak with you lawyer, no matter what else the parties divorcing should have enough sense to preserve as much money as possible for distribution between themselves.
