You heard right! The factory tour is a fantastic bonus. Just make sure to book it when you confirm your delivery reservation.

It’s absolutely exhilarating! Plus, driving on the Autobahn is a unique thrill. Just don’t push it too hard; you want to enjoy your car, right?

I’ve heard there are additional fees involved with European Delivery, like shipping back to the U.S. and insurance. Can anyone break down those costs for me?

15

There are! Typically, expect shipping fees of about $1,000, plus insurance. It’s good to budget for these extra costs.

16

Not only the fees, but there are also savings on sales tax, depending on your home state. It can significantly affect your overall budget.

That’s a great point, stephen70! Ultimately, if you factor in potential tax savings, European Delivery can definitely pay off.

18

I’m curious about how financing works with European Delivery. Do banks treat it differently than a domestic purchase?

19

Great question! Most banks handle it similarly, but it’s best to check with your lender for specific terms regarding overseas delivery.

I’ve been to Munich, and picking my car up from the factory was just amazing! Makes the extra fees feel like a small price to pay. Anyone else thinking about going along for the ride?
