lynnmor 8,901 #1 Posted 20 hours ago I see there is a pretty 420SLE in the classifieds for $6500. I just came from the dentist and he wants $7000 to implant a molar. Has this world gone crazy, or is it just me? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt that Jason takes supplemental coverage!! I wouldn't! Out of pocket. If I had taken the $38 per month plan, it would pay a maximum dental of $1000 per year for a net gain of $544. My dentist sells me a Smile Savers plan that gives me a discount of 10% with no insurance, so the dental plan from my insurance is worth less than nothing.

My last plan offered a kick-in for hearing aids - none at the famous name vendors. The monetary amount they applied was a joke at the second string places!

Years ago 2500 for the whole deal...just started another one today implant $2200 the abutment and crown will be about 1300. (I needed a bone graft that added 500) if you need an extraction add another 250. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 70,705 #7 Posted 6 hours ago Would I pay $6,500 for a 420LSE? No. But remember, it was $8,000 sticker price at the dealer back in the day. How much would that be today… $12,000? It’s not unreasonable, when you think of it that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
