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.

your benz is new or used? i remember u stated in a previous post that it's used ...

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.

zzzzz

New or used ? 5000 $ change ... kinda answer the question itself

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

Name brand Italian pasta is cheaper here than Italy.
It's like that for many N. AMerican vs. European purchases.

Yes thats true sometimes... however you wont buy a mustang in Europe for $20k.... you will pay $30-40k for it.

its better buy vw touareg in us and ship it to germany then buy it in germany
because of euro and $ things

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.
