anyone else with grey market have this issue
You don't know what trouble is untill you attempt to register a Grey Market Benz in CA.

2 yrs ago..I bought a 82'500SEC off E-Bay & out of SoCal.
It had "just expired" Ca. tags & a Ca. pink slip & registration.
All of those FACTS made no difference to the CAL Smog boys..
They couldn't find a record of the car..I wrote DMV & received the cars History & 4 of the 7 prievious owners address's.
Still the Smog Boys would do nothing.
The car even had the required exhaust equipment but it all fell on deaf ears of the Smog Boys.
I ended up posting it on CraigsList for Oregon.
It sold,I made money,but I was ROBBED from enjoying this 81K/AMG-kit/500-sec.

My advice to you...& I know its gunna hurt..

SELL IT in a State that isn't so in your face about Smog.
