A lot... if you have to ask But the car will still be under market value and should still be profitable after the conversion. The reason that conversion was more expensive with the black car is because of the rarity and price difference (esp. with such low miles) than a silver car. You have to pay 2% of the purchase price to customs as part of the conversion. As the purchase price goes up, the 2% goes up .
