Thanks.

TMK, grey market cars are exept from emissions testing due to their non compliance.

All of the interior labelling is in German, the lighting controls, HVAC, Radio ect.

His Uncle and cousins dealt in these cars for yrs both domesitic versions and Imports.

When Ii see Gregg I'll ask him the specifics.

It depends on when they were imported...back in the mid to late 1980s when importing brand new grey market cars was popular, before you could put them on the street they had to be modified (or Federalized as it was called) to meet EPA as well as DOT requirements. Once that was done and they were declared US legal, if you had yearly emissions testing in your area they fell under the same rules as any other car.

On the other hand, nowadays there's a provision in the law that allows cars 25 years old or older to be imported without having to make any modifications.
