WTF!?!?!? -- German cars more expensive in Germany than in Canada...
Im in the process of purchasing a new Mercedes-Benz CLK 55 AMG cabriolet, and I stumbled across the GERMAN Mercedes website... Here is their pricing in EUROs
http://www.mercedes-benz.de/mbd/pdf/...209-Cabrio.pdf 72,300 Euros + taxes ..... In Canada the exact same car goes for $110,000 Canadian dollars. Now the exchange rate is 1 EUR = 1.60143 CAD (xe.com) Therefore: 72,300.00 Euro = 115,783.35 Canada Dollars Weird but cool... BTW I've managed to bargain the car down to $99,000 + $1500 delivery charge. I can't wait till I get it. |

It's brand new... thats why there is a delivery charge... I posted a pic of a used car just to post a pic.
Damn the top is funky... Press a button and everything starts opening up and setting up and shit for the roof to open up. 20 sec later its open... and you dont touch a thing. |

When your spending that much for a car 5k is not much.

It's like that for many N. AMerican vs. European purchases.

Simple reasons:
1) 16% VAT in Germany, not sure how much in Canada, but I bet its less. 2) Car prices depend a lot on the status they have in the country they are sold in. You can go to east europe and buy the car even cheaper, although its just a few hundred miles away.
