[s-cars] Re: Looking for price of RS2 E.M. in Germany

[Bruce Mendel]

That's exactly my experience on all fronts. Pricing is about same as I paid
having friend get it for me in Germany, and shipping was more but I did a
mini-GP so bought three or four of each. We paid $499 and $1044 for EM and
RS2 turbo.

"Horrible" does not begin to describe OEM packaging.....stunningly bad maybe
is better. :)

Even though some don't seem to like the RS2 turbo, for that kind of savings
