If it was someone from Israel, I'm not surprised he didn't want it. I don't know if they are still as high, but duties on cars were 180% of their value when I was living there. Plus I cannot imagine the problems he would face with maintenance etc.
I'm not even sure it is legal to import marques for which there is no local importer... I have a vague memory of some issue in that area. I know I needed a Rolls for something once and the best I was going to be able to do, was borrow one from someone in Lebanon.
