actually downloaded the e55 manual too and its is 77950 (it says euro but looks a lot like dollars. anyway, the difference is only $6,418 us. that would be MUCH easier to swallow.

Fortunately the European prices aren't all that aligned to U.S. prices due to different competition and various factors. My salesman said he thought the CLS would come in about $5000 higher than a comparable E55, which sounds about right. So I'm guessing about $85K for a typical CLS55 & close to $100K with every available option.

That is why they require us to sign a non export agreement.

I was going to export a MB from the US through a dealer and I was never told that he was arranging everything for me is that a new rule or something

Not sure. All I know is on my current E55 and my ordered CLS55, I was asked to sign an agreement saying I would not export my car. Perhaps since you live out side the US, it does not apply to you.

I had to sign the same agreement at my US dealer for my E55 and, as I recall, my CLK55.

There was an recent Autoweek article that had the cls55 base price at $87,000 and $65,000 for the cls500. That's only 7 to 8k over the respective e models.

Compared to the rest of europe, the cars in germany are cheap...the cars in the US are deadcheap...it is simply amazing to see how little has to be paid for every single US spec MB model compared to the ones in Europe (that don't even come with half as many options).

greetingz,

I know, in the UK expected price will be about £68,000 which translates at current exchange rate to $126,000!!

I so wish we had US prices then I could afford a CLS55

Socialism? In the UK? Nah, it's just called ripping us off, although they do have a go at blaming it on the pound and conversion to right hand drive though....

Hey there all, come to bubai you can buy the car for much cheaper, or a better solution is buy it direclty form the factory. Thats what every one dose here, and you can recalim your VAT for the car as well, Imnot sure n how it works in Europe but the price here is high but not as high because her eindubai we have no taxes and no income tax.
