canadian non fe wagon … dealer trying to unload it with $10,000 cdn off 😄

ocdbroker

^^^$134k USD. Attractive build. How did Canadian cars get such inflated pricing? This one wouldn't last more than a couple days in the US at this price.

de8ger

can we buy car in Canada and import as personal use?

bobblehead

msrp incudes federal luxury tax which in this example of roughly $15000 cdn. Also, about $5000 cdn in fees. In all, $20,000 cdn.

This Springfield FE advertised with “Carbon Ceramic Brakes” on carsandbids

Auction

Be prepared to bring it across the border for service and warranty work. But I don’t believe the MB dealer will sell it to non-citizens. Not sure about a third party dealer middle man. I am only a couple hours away from this and went to look at it awhile ago. It was around $200k CAD then

de8ger

I called them, they can sell it to me if I pay full cash, but I need to pay sale tax in Canada, which is 20%+ on top of MSRP. And not sure about warranty and how to register it in the US(additional US sale tax?)

graphitegreyamg

Yup state and federal taxes I’m sure. It’s a very nicely spec’d car 👍
Out the door $200k CAD or about $150k USD

They are misleading people with the ad for this car... "According to the window sticker provided in the gallery, this E63S carried a $177,693 MSRP. Factory equipment includes the Final Edition package, carbon ceramic brakes, AMG Sport Air Body Control suspension..."

This does not have ceramic brakes. Those are the steel rotors (ceramics aren't slotted) with black painted calipers.

I tried to buy a '23 in Canada and import it to the US. It's impossible. Even if you could, it would still have zero warranty. Such a bummer. I found the perfect E63 Wagon there last month, my favorite colors and everything.

de8ger

They built too many final editions in the US, and they just sit on the lot with no buyer. Most of Canada E63s are non FE. Shame on MBUSA and US dealers.

Wouldn't be nice is MBUSA got smart and picked up some no FE from Canada to bring here ...they are exactly the same

ocdbroker

This auction is an eye-opener for me. Although it didn't sell, we now know there's more than one buyer willing to pay $175k. Never would've believed there's a market for Final Edition wagons at or near MSRP.

Why don't they buy from dealer? 175k+fee would be even more than MSRP. Dealers would definitely sell FEs at MSRP these days.

I.T. Guy

Dealers seem to still have ADM

de8ger

Some of them even sell non-FE at MSRP. And I know many of them sell FE at MSRP or even at discounted price.

M5THIS

I would love to get the name of a dealer with non FE for sale.

de8ger

I took one. And the other two were sold as far as I know.
I know MB west covina has one non-FE unsold as of last week, not sure the pricing since they don't sell to out of state customer.

ocdbroker

Mercedes AMG ****show of a company lately. Seems nobody knows what they're doing since COVID.

de8ger

You are from CA, so they can sell it to you. https://www.mbwestcovina.com/invento...H8KB5PB171568/
Tell them the one in MB Dallas and MB South Orlando are both sold at MSRP and see if they can do it.

taphil

Beware they're also scumbags. All of them.

Reading Yelp will confirm.

taphil

Further confirmation.

de8ger

Dealers? What did they do?
