Talk to Larry (spare time toys). I sold him the one I had from a grey market car.
He may want to sell it. |

Pete: I've got one and hate it for the same reasons here. I don't even look at the dam thing anymore. I took out a GPS and got the crusing speeds of 2nd, 3rd and 4th and now I drive it by the tach.

I've thought about getting one, but I've been driving with MPH speedo's for so long I don't even have to do a conversion.
Not high on my list. 50kph= 30mph, 60kph= 40mph, 80kph= 50mph, 90kph= 56mph, 100kph= 63mph Not spot on...but close enough to stay out of trouble. |

Just for benchmark purposes, what is a fair market price for a speedometer in kilos?? Inquiring minds want to know. MSG L
