Default window sticker but no car yet

Here is my build for my GT3. Euro delivery. Did all the paperwork today.
I'm getting anxious.

Congratulations sounds, and I'm sure it will look, an impressive car!

Is the Homelink option a Canadian / ROW option only? I'm sure I didn't see it as a US option??

Thanks fellow RL's
homelink included with us spec car. Not sure for ROW.

Viper green I felt was a historic color. Eduardo's posts helped me to decide. There was other greens, ie RS, signal.
I had my dealer make up the three samples of green and compared them, daylight, artificial light, low light, sunlight.
finally decided on Viper

Oh Canada!

What is your tax on that? At the current exchange that is around 143K US$!

Somewhere around 15% right? That makes it still a good deal, damn!

Nice grab and we all wish we had the same opportunity, please post delivery and Euro vacation car pics!

Our provincial tax is an additional 5% which is the lowest in Canada.
For euro delivery, the VAT German tax is due upfront. Once the car is imported, the VAT is refunded. I think this is due to the fact that the value of the car in Germany is worth more and people were selling their Porsche and making profit. The German government wants their taxes on it.

With the current exchange rate, the car at MSRP in US dollars is a bargain. It takes $ .78 cents of US dollars to buy one Canadian dollar right now.. $140,988. USD
It was a year ago that it was the opposite situation.
The same build on the USA configurator was about 160k US dollars.

so either way, I have a desirable car combination with little downside for me. There is probably someone on RL that would be interested to buy after I am done with the car. I would sell for 180K US dollars though! LOL

Congrats on a nice PTS and euro delivery in April will be amazing! Hopefully you have time to visit some of the nice tracks in Central Europe.
