I've looked into bringing a Benz from the US into Canada, with the dollar being as high as it is. Lots of benefits - bigger selection, no salt issues and lower cost.

But - it seems Mercedes has thought this over a tad and the bottom line is that they don't want this happening for obvious market reasons.

So - there are quite a few modifications that are required for Mercedes. Headlights, bumper, etc. to list a few. They have to be performed at a qualified Mercedes dealer. There is substantial paperwork to apply for and present when crossing the border.

All in all, they've made it a significant hassle to deter just this kind of activity.

There are a few threads on this forum about it, a search will bring them up.

You didn't mention a year? If this is an older model, over 20 years old, you're in the clear. I think 20 is the magical number - it might be 15, I can't recall exactly. But past a certain age, you don't need to go through this process.
