2011 Mercedes E350 4matic Sport
Steel Bullet
2011 E350 4matic. I have tinted the windows, installed a 12" Rockford Fosgate P2 with mono amp, a bass knob in the front for adjustments, a direct wire with mute for my Escort 9500ix Radar detector, the trunk spoiler, hood ornament delete, clear side markers with smoke tint and HID conversion with Moritomo kit. I am still debating on the grill.

No idea.
Lots of car importers do buy 1~3 years used cars from U.S. and sell them here in Taiwan.
For car like E350 between 2010~2012 MY. The retail prices are between USD:60,000 ~ 92,000

German cars in taiwan typically sells for 2x or more what they sell for in USA even with fewer features. I have friends in Taiwan that sometimes send me $$ to buy them a german car in the US, drive it for a couple of years, then they arrange to get it shipped back to Taiwan. Even with shipping, customs and various fees, they still come out ahead.
For example a BMW 5 series that sold for about $60k in US (with tax), equivalent car in Taiwan would've been around $120k to $130k US. With shipping and customs, my friend ended up paying about $80k US for the 530i. Saved her about $50k USD.
There is significant customs/tax for current model year vehicles, if you wait a couple of years, customs drops significantly.
Ok back on topic, here's a few pics of my new 2013 E350 Sport wagon, picked it up almost 2 months ago. Had Formula one Pinnacle tint installed last week. 50% on all glass except windshield which has F1 Air blue 80% and sunroof has Pinnacle 5%.

Stunning Wagon. The S212 is perhaps the nicest Wagon I've ever seen. Looks better/sleeker/more cohesive than the Sedan even, and I am NOT a Wagon guy in the least.
