One of my neighbors did this. She enjoyed the experience.

Audi has a similar program. The new Volvo XC90 is a very good looking SUV.

I didn't end up buying one, but I was VERY impressed with this vehicle.

I owned a S60R for years. Loved the car. If I were in the market for one, I would absolutely do something like this. Similar is some of the BMW/Ducati programs to tour Europe and then ship it home (previously, don't know if they have any currently). That would be an amazing way to get introduced to your new motorcycle.

Get a Bimmer instead. Pick up the car in Germany and drive the autobahn.

Have fun paying more money than normal to maintain those beamers/volvos.

That was my main complaint. At the time I owned it, it was $1300 to replace the entire headlight unit when the hi-lo beam servo died. Mother of god, but I guess I'm just JV LR.

you mean out of business? I always like some of the more funky lines of the SAABs, glad to see they are back.

Yeah, I'm going to do it. I'm flying over and picking it up. It's going to be a lot of fun while I'm there, but I'm not looking forward to the long drive home.

Funny! But they ship it home for you.

I've heard too many "Saab" stories. Of the foreign luxury cars, I'll take a Lexus LS430 with the luxury option. Big bullet-proof V-8 that will get 25mpg on the interstate.

If you buy a SAAB, do you get a free trip to Detroit?

No, to the mechanic.

I'd rather have a BMW...

I did it back in Nov 09 with a 2010 V50 that I’m still driving. I have no regrets and will consider doing it again.
