Ordering Cars from Mexico

Anyone have experience with factory orders from Mexico? I've been given a rather wide range of estimates from 2 months (ok) to 4 months (too long).

The main question is why buy a car in Mexico? First, warranties are country specific so you'll be out of luck at your local dealer. When you do a factory delivery with a MB dealer here what they deliver to you is a US vehicle and you're OK. There are exceptions like for the military but don't count on it. Most manufacturers adjust the local price of a car in a particular country so that it really doesn't matter where you buy it, it's always about the same. Then you add on importation taxes and issues, geeezzzz.

I'm not buying the car in Mexico, I'm doing a factory order from Mexico (where it is made) through a dealer.
