Bringing it back... a Mercedes, >$40,000 vehicle. I can here the FED cash
register ringing now $$$

Not to mention repair (parts). Even if covered by warranty a dealer would
have to special order the parts from overseas.

Emissions will be different, plus you will have to get it through customs.
DOT/emissions (for importation) is not a easy task from what I have seen on
this list in the last 3 years.

Someone has a web page posted on it somewhere. Not difficult, just very
consuming in time and money.
