To lighten your mood...

move to Illinois!

Sorry couldn't resist. Best of luck in getting it resolved.

P.S. Try posting this in the W203 forum... a bunch of members there tinker with their cars and are Californians - perhaps one of them knows a shop.

What?!?! You imported a vehicle and were not told about the conversion? Sounds like you were taken advantage of... that really sucks!!

$15,000 sounds is the average rate for conversion.

i dont see any reason for the conversion especially when the car passed all DMV checks which means the DMV didnt require conversion , all they asked for is a smog check im pretty sure that my car will pass the smog but they wont let me smog it without some sort of a sticker ??

does anyone have any contact info to AMERISPEC because i cant find any info abou them ???


thanx
