Re: [T3] Injector problem?
<x-flowed>ConstantinoT=> I never understood why people brought black market
=> german cars into the country if an american version of the same or
=> similar model was available.
This is usually called 'grey market,' as in not illegal but not smiled
upon, and it's pretty common. My car came in with a US serviceman who'd
been stationed in Germany. The deal then was that if you put 10K klicks
on it, you could ship it to the US duty-free. A friend of mine bought a
Eurovan for a tour of Europe and brought it back with him on a similar
deal and saved a ton of money over buying retail at home. Duties and
subsequent retail markups on new cars are substantial coming into the US.
