Import the grey market cars

I used to work for a lady who's family frequently bought gray market European taxi spec mercedes benz's.

They typically had velour interiors, something you never see in a US market benz.

IIRC they were 380/420 models and she said they were about 20K plus $2500 shipping, which was a hell of a lot cheaper than a US one and actually cheap enough to not worry about a warranty.
