Prices are all over the place too, a friend of mine asked last year if he can buy a new E Class from the UK, to German spec. of course.
A new E220cdi in the spec listed above can be had for around £31,000, the same spec car in Germany is €49,000.
In the end he chose a company car, but the savings were huge. And a complete change around from 15 years ago when we were all ordering cars in the UK through dealers in the Netherlands and Belgium.
