How stringent is that smog check? I wouldn't be surprised if it were 5x or 10x the emissions allowed for a brand new car of that vintage. Seems like a perfect running euro car might pass the test. When they were gray market importing the new cars in the 1980s, the conversion costs were really something unless they could just replace every related part with US certified parts, because meeting current year new car standards is never easy without having a major car company's R&D budget. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
