Repost: Canadian conversion: Could you recommend a dealer?
I posted this question in the SL forum, but I did not get any helpful responses. I am reposting here as I realize maybe someone has already done the canadian conversion with another model.
I have been lurking for the past few weeks, and I greatly appreciate this site and its wealth of information for a prospective buyer like me.
I have decided to buy a new SL600. In view of the highly favorable exchange rate, buying it in the USA, I would save about 25K$. The car would need minor modifications to be registered in Canada, namely running day lights and metric speedo/odometer. I understand the first item is programmable. However, the speedo/odometer conversion entails physical replacement in the instrument cluster.
I hope it is appropriate to ask this question on this forum. Could you please recommend a dealer I can buy the car from who would do this mod. Since I also want to do the Renntech engine/trany mod, it would have to be someone who can also do that without warranty hassles. Such dealer needs to be conveniently located in the north east ( within a thousand miles from Montreal)
I would appreciate hearing from any canadians who went this route.
