welcome christian:)

was it because of the tax?

why so expensive from there?

Look, a mini-mini van.:D

Hm, let me know where you can find a CL600 or AMG CL55 for $50,000 here in the US?

And $50,000 is high for that little A-class. Why is it so high in Denmark? So I guess all the money people have at least a A-class or two. and the ridicoulously rich folk drive the CL500. I guess the CL600 is about $500,000?
Here in Germany you can get one of those for about 15,000 euro-20,000 euro.

It's because the 180% tax, the goverment add id to the original price, exampel: 10.000$ for a car + 180% = 28.000$ it's sick!
Hey blackwolf, i found a Cl600 amg cl55 on mobile.de it was 36.000, and then i added a bit because it was a half year, so i think it was fine?
A brand new vw passat 3,2 cost 100.000$

RE: Car prices, US vs EU
 

which was it, a CL 600 or CL55? they are two different cars.

And what country is this? I must remember to bring my VAT form with me when I visit.

RE: Car prices, US vs EU
 

and mobil.de is german, not the US. How do I know? By the .de meaning German site.

Hm since I am in Germany I have been able to navigate German sites fairly efficient so lets see... (searching site.)
As far as price, surprisingly you are right I found a CL500 and the car ya talking about for $40,000 Eur. Not bad. But it's in Germany and the price to get it to US Specs is tremendous. Better off buying one in the states. And don't say which on it is, but it looks like a CL600. But what I don't get about this site is why the C230 avantgarde cost 40,010 Eur. Somethings is fishy. A fully loaded brand new factory leather seats and all US spec C-class over here can be had easily for no more than $32,000 euro and that's pushing it. Even the C200 is 40,000 Eur. what's going on. The C200 is the straight basic here.
