naaah, If they did their 'due diligence' they would have been driving your car now.
I sold my convertible to someone from Calgary and it was a very easy
process for the new owner to bring it up there.

 

Figures. It's unbelievable the stories I get. It's such a beautiful car, and immaculate. Someone's really going to get a great car.

 

The sad part is...it's VERY hard to import a benz from usa to canada, and for stupid reason that is !..
that's why i bought mine local. and paid more


Why you selling the baby exactly, got a new project on the way?

 

Have a few financial things that came up that I have to take care of. From the money I get from the car I'll be fine. After that I'll do a little saving and probably be back to owning another AMG.

 

Actually, if you're that desperate, I can import the car for you
into Canada. I'll charge you the difference between a locally sold car (of the same make)
and the one sold in the US or $3600 whichever is higher

 

can't get a 99 C class,it is excluded from import.

Thanks Ohlord, I haven't read the list in a long time.

 

what was the reason they gave you it was excluded?

did they deny you verbally or in writing?

MB is putting up artificial barriers including excluding certain cars from import in order to restrict imports, thereby protecting their dealer networks. And the difference between the prices here in Canada and US is substantial in a lot of models.

 

Seems if you want some newer than 01 models they were good to go.
Still seems like a racket

Ohlord, Good link you found, though MB doesn't provide this to RIV (not listed on www.RIV.CA).


I agree, total racket. For example, I dont know how 1993-95 models aren't allowed in. I guess because they say so. And all the modifications have to be done by them. And they decide what needs to be done. Total racket.

It is only a matter of time before MB Canada faces a class action lawsuit under NAFTA for putting up these artificial barriers to trade.

 

Less than 24 hours guys and only still at $8,300. Don't miss out.

 

I thought Tommy was gonna buy the car? What happened?

 

He decided to go for an S4 instead.

 

damn Jared sorry to hear

 

Car was sold locally this morning.

 

congrats on your sale...you worked hard to sell it!

 

Yeah, sure had plenty of advertising. I'm sure everyone who thinks C43 thinks of mine right away. Sure going to miss it, will eventually get another AMG in the future.

 

what did you sell it for? If you dont mind me asking...

 

i'm curious as well-

either way it makes me glad i dropped the money for the supercharger rather than thinking that keeping it stock would keep the resale high etc.

 

congrats man! good luck on your next amg...still have the stock exhaust! damn shops don't wanna touch my exhaust. anyways, congrats again!

 

I have to disagree on that. I think you risk your sale with a modified vehicle rather than stock. But again, there are a lot factors....

 

Best I could get was a $10,500 cash offer.
