Mb B200
I just joined this discussion group this afternoon and was wondering if there are any other B200 owners in the US.
I got a B200T last fall and it is the most fun car I've ever had. I've gotten over 32 mph on the highway too...can't beat that.

Welcome to the forums!
32mph on the highway? You should be posting in the Performance Paddock!   32mpg is an impressive mileage, to be sure. I'm on the other end of the spectrum, unfortunately... Plenty of great folks here, lots of excellent information, this open discussion forum can warrant a thick skin from time to time though! Chris

If you mean a B class? Surely 32mpg is not all that great? My Kia Rio get's 31 and my 240D was getting 31 before winter diesel hit. I thought B classes were light enough to be more economical than that?

I'm in Southern Calif. Got it from a MB dealership in BC. I had to work around the Calif. emmissions law (no reason to make it a Calif car if it's not going to be sold in the US) so I had to get one with at least 7,500 miles on it.

I would sooo totally drive that! How hard was it to get into Cali? Any major mods done to make it legal?
If you dont mind, how much did it cost in the end?

It is not a "Calif" car so I had to bring in a used one (at least 7,500 miles). DMV told me that as long as it could pass smog and it met US safety standards I could register it.
Canada's bumper standards are higher than US so that was no problem. I think their emissions standards are higher too. My insurance company said that as long as I could register it they would insure it. Downgrades to a two year 24K warranty. I did not have to pay Canada's taxes but I did have to pay the Calif sales tax when I registered it. Last edited by CA-B200; 09-08-2008 at 01:11 PM. Reason: update information

Yeah, you are right about the bumper, emissions, etc. from Canada. I've looked into bringing a nice, clean southern US car into Canada and - forget it. Too many mods required - $$$. Enjoy the ride!
