You can a new M8 for under $3K in the UK if you buy from a dealer  
like ffordes.co.uk and do so before the end of January when the  
current 650 pound rebate ends. For US buyers this is especially  
attractive, since you get to take advantage of both the low pound and  
the fact that since you are based outside the EU, you do not have to  
pay the 15% VAT that is included in the prices you see on their web  
site.

Just do your math and you will discover that the net cost is around  
$2600 plus some shipping costs and the cost of depositing a UK rebate  
check in your bank account.
