Europa-List: Rotax Sourcing

Hi all,


Like many of you, I've been discouraged lately by the exchange rate driving
up the Rotax alternative and was wondering something. I'm sure someone's
already considered this but what if someone from the US was going to Europe
anyway and wanted to purchase an engine there and have it shipped back home?
Don't know if there's any merit to such an idea but I know Mercedes and BMW
both have programs where you visit the factory, buy your car, then they
assist in having it transported home. I hear you can usually save enough on
the car to pay for most of the trip. Anyone given this any thought and, if
so, does it pan out after figuring the exchange and freight rates?


Ideas anyone?
