silver912e,
Unusual for me to advise
www.toytowngermany.com twice in one day but if you want to know more about savings accounts or other finance stuff try it. Head to chat forum-Germany themes-then finance. Read a few topics. I think the best way is to have a Citibank USA account and transfer money to a German savings account. Not sure.
Most of the Pelican parts I'm buying, OE Porsche, are made in Hungary or ???.
Good luck
