If you bought one outside the US and brought it in you became Grey market importer

the brand value would you?
So what if someone was stationed in (say) Germany, bought a Merc over there, used it accordingly, then through whatever circumstance was able to bring it back to the USA in the back of C5 Galaxy, rolled it off.....they gonna scratch out the Mercedes name???

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
