An sl bought in germany might be cheaper, although the dollar is pretty low against the euro...do some calculations...and think about euro/vs cars, thay are different, maybe one from the VS won't get regularised in germany.
The German customs will charge you a 19% value added tax on the current market value of your car.
As the vehicle is a German marque, claim diplomatic immunity
oohhh I see, sorry for being pissy :-) The Army is paying for the shipping so that is not a a problem. I am not looking for a new Benz at the moment, I just need a car to get around once I am there.
I like that WD40 idea, thank you.
If the Army is paying shipping, I would sell the SL in the USA, buy and ship a Corvette over there where you can resell at $$$. Then get something else for transportation and pocket the difference.

Great idea!! I know where you can get a clean 1963 for cheap!
As a side note, we in the US are very spoiled by low fuel costs. Fuel was $7.42 / gal when I was in Germany last year. Just looked at Gasoline usage and pricing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia , and as of 4/20/08, it is $8.63 / gallon! I hope you can get it on base cheaper!
You see very few 8 or 12 cylinder vehicles in Germany. Very interesting to see all of the diesel variants (BMW 7'er, for example) and small displacement gassers (E200, etc.) that weren't offered in the US market. A LOT of Smart and the like.
