Dodge isn’t charging you $500 for the privilege of having the drug purchase count towards your health insurance deductible. If you buy the $13.40 prescription, it doesn’t count towards the deductible – you have to pay the inflated price.

Except to install the part they charge 3 hours of shop rate on a job that takes 30 minutes. They get you coming and going if you take it into the dealership.

Almost happened to me. Took car in to dealer for repairs. Supposedly ~2 hrs to do the job. 8 hrs later, not done. Cause? Supposedly bad part out of the box.

Generic 100mg Viagra is $8.60 (30 tablets) vs $180+ elsewhere. One TV commercial claims regular price for 9 tablets Viagra is $400+.
