So you would be simply obtaining a legally provided for exemption in importing
the 320CDI "G"wagen yourself. (If you could afford the higher European cost)
€73,542 (~US$114,375) or pre VAT of €61,800 (~US$96,112). Add about US$1500 shipping, US$2000 Customs Duty and at least US$15,000 for the RI.

The US G500 is still a better deal in the long run, especially when factoring in the cost of diesel fuel in the US.

That's why someone like Europa Int'l - who is still in business, btw - doesn't bring any in.
