Sorry if I missed this, but has the destination charge been published or confirmed. I remember reading a post (which I can no longer find) which suggested it will be $500. This was part of a dealer ad where they showed the cabrio starting at $17,090 ($16,590 + $500). Any new information on this?

I haven't heard anything one way or the other, but I think some people/person have mentioned it might be ~$800

based on the shipping charges for Mercedes Benzes that have to travel a similar distance.

Here's hoping that it's $500 or less.

Destination charge in Canada is $1200.00+

I just checked the exchange rates and I saw the Canadian dollar is almost the same as the US dollar. Is that right? It used to be about 75% of the US dollar.

If everyone would quote his/her source for rumors maybe we could better evaluate how much drama is necessary. This has been such a long wait I know we are all desperate for just just one tidbit of real info. Hey, what happened to the Nov. Newsletter??

At the smart drive event in September in Portland OR, I asked the delivery question. The rep I spoke with seemed quite knowlegeble. She felt like the delivery would be no more than $600.

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I saw the $600 in print back when I first started all my research but can't remember where and a search of this site turns up all sorts of guess but not what I remember seeing... Most of my cars cost $750 to central Texas...

I probably saw the $600 figure on Edmund's
