Do you pay less for a car like a Mercedes in the same country it is made compared to paying high here in the United Stat

When I spent the summer in Wurzberg, I noted that many new Mercedes were about 70% of the price they were here.

That was 1999. Dunno how things are now.

And one way or another, you have to figure in taxes.

So if you want to get a corvette from the factory to pay the less cost , you're still going to pay th high cost

Mercedes in Europe is like Chevrolet in the USA.

They also produce commercial vehicles (trucks), like the Sprinter (delivery van). The L-series truck (which was produced for nearly 40 years), is well-known for its durability all over the world, notably African and Middle Eastern countries.

That said, for most European motorists, a M-B private car is still for the well-off, in general. You'll still see a lot more cars in the supermini segment (such as VW Polo, Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta) and one step up (VW Golf, Opel Astra, Ford Focus, Renault Megane).
