Oh I caught that, my comment was gratuitously tangential, or
tangentially gratuitous, wunnathem.

Not Benz, VW. Look different. Don't like the Toyota diesels. Checked
into them a few years ago thinking to put one in the '03 that we have
but from what I've read they don't get very good mileage.

Those Benz pickups get a lot of derision. They seems to be a

Get one of those Toyota diesels the rest of the world gets and it
will last forever. Mount a .50 in the back like them ME boys and
you’re good for any neighborhood adventures.

Gerry,
A few years ago I was looking int bringing in one of the new, at
that time, VW diesel pickups. They look kind of like a Nissan or
Toyota Tacoma.
If I remember right at that time you could bring in pretty much
whatever as long as it's 25 years old or more. Some people said that
some importers might be able to do something with some kind of paper
work or bringing it in through Canada but it costs a bit, over
2000-5000.
The last option I found was that with a special permit you could
bring one in for either 1 or 2 years but then had to take it back
and possibly go through the whole thing again but that also entailed
that little 4 figure fee. EPA wants their bribe you know.
I don't remember any more if that last option also required you to
be a foreign national working here with permit.
Things may have changed so doing a google search may give more up to
date info.

Daughter and husband are selling their 2007 GL320 cdi which has a
new factory engine (a dealers "mechanic" destroyed the original).
Car has 250K miles; new engine has 7K miles. Does anyone know
where to get a good estimate of what a near perfect condition
GL320cdi is selling for?
Also, they are undecided about buying a new Acura SUV or a new Audi
SUV, with their main considerations being gas mileage and repair
frequency.
They might also consider a different SUV if the seats fold down and
make a long smooth bed where their two dogs can sleep on their
doggy beds on long journeys, and because they haul supplies for
their business from a another city every week.
Thanks,
Gerry
PS: What they would "really" like to have is a new Mercedes SUV
diesel.
Can they be bought in Germany and shipped over here as grey market?
