Import GD?

Hi

Anyone ever put together the prices for getting an MB diesel into the US? I'm talking shipping, importer fees and duties.

This would also be for a model that comes in under the EPA and NHTSA radars, e.g. a 1980 model that satisfies the EPA 21 year exemption and the NHTSA 25 year exemption.

People are selling these rare beasts this side of the pond for $15K+ and they sell for often under 5K€ in DE.

If shipping and other fees are under $5K, could be well worth it (notwithstanding exchange differences).

Thanks
