Oh, and the reason why these cars need $2800 brake.jobs is because people do not know how to brake. It's one thing to brake from 60 to 30mph, it's a whole different thing braking from 140 to 70mph.

The car does down shift if you press the toggle shifter. And down shifting definitely saves brakes.

And you beat anything it's gonna break. Eventually.
It's really only about $1500 in OEM parts and 2 hours of work. Nothing fancy about swapping out the brakes, super simple.

But, people pay outrageous prices to the dealer for some reason, so there's that.

And the reason they need changing at 30k miles is because the pads are pretty damn aggressive.

Since when is a seller required to have a used car inspected and provide you with the inspection report? And why would you even ask a seller for their inspection report on a car they're selling to you? You're the buyer, it's up to you to do the due diligence. You didn't do any due diligence and now I guess it's easier to call the other guy a crook than to look in the mirror to see who's really at fault.
In NYS...car dealers are required by law to inspect any sold vehicle..new or used...brakes..tires..are just two of the components that must pass a NYS vehicle inspection..

In Texas they don't have to tell you anything at all, even if they know the car is infected with plague bascillus and also has a compound 4 charge wired to the starter. buyer beware.

Explanation of OTD price difference?
tax in my area is 7.25%
So roughly 3k added.
They wouldn't give me any more of a break down unless I went into the dealer.

Even destination is what 1500 or so on these trucks. So I'm not sure what the hell they were playing but I learned my lesson years ago when dealers do this shit.

Used to live in Illinois for 11 years. Worked about 10 minutes from Elmhurst. That's a fairly exclusive community as I recall. Home pricing was outrageous. Never dealt with that dealership. Only Dodge dealer in Illinois I would deal with is Roanoke. It's in Central Illinois but worth the drive if you live in the Chicago area. Viper club I belonged to loved that dealership because of the outstanding service and reputation they had. The owner is first class. They were the best by far.
When I was looking for a Demon allocation they said they mainly dealt with Vipers and the one they had was already spoken for (i think they got a few of them but it didn't matter). They did tell me that the key to finding an allocation was to look at dealers that had a lot of Hellcats. They would get more Demon allocations.

That is a straight shooting dealership.
