Every other EU car maker that offers factory delivery to US customers discounts the cars price and often throws in airfare..and shipping home is free also.

Porsche's tourist delivery program is a shameless consumer ripoff.







Disagree. Only relevant comps are EU deliv of F's or 65s.

F offers factory deliv for repeat custs; no discts; and they'd prob reconsider invite if you admit you're flying commercial; need an airfare subsidy; and can't afford your own grub at a Michelin-starred diner nearby....

Last I chkd, MB doesn't offer factory deliv of 65s (prob will only sell 200ish 65s/yr to US anyway); no mention of disct...and if one needs airfare subsidy and free grub, MB may be justifiably concerned re: whether one's check for the $200K car (w/instant $60K deprec) will bounce .....and even if they offer deliv, I suspect you'd have to pay $5Kish to get speed limiter moved up to a whopping 18xMPH....
