From what I can recall, they did pay for my parents, but they did not pay for me and my sister- They did pay for the hotel. It was all through SAS, which is positively genius.

I want to say the cost of the car was about.. 32k after it's all said and done.

My dad, who purchased the car, absolutely loves it. It's one of the best car he's ever owned. I've driven it, and it runs great. No major issues besides a squeaky bearing in one of the drivetrains. He's considering getting a new car, and I'll either end up with my mom's BMW or the Volvo!

It's the experience, I'd say.

Whatever floats your boat man.

Terribly sorry.

Looking back now, and doing some google-fu, I can see that the car did in fact be the same price to go there and ship it, versus buying a car in the US.

Do it.

It's a lot of fun!

One of my favorites was seeing a massive XC90 lined up next to a bunch of smaller European cars that are designed for economy. (Gas is like 9 dollars there) It was like comparing an M1 Abrams tank to a Toyota Prius!
