Average personal debt outside of mortgage is something like 30k? 10-15k is hardly half that. What price safety? Also snow tires.
not always
rich people.... without household debt then? LOL
I've never driven anything with ceramics but if I was buying a new high end sports car I'd probably splurge just because BALLIN'
But then I used to hear that they aren't the street-friendliest thing in the world either. So maybe the people who fork over the money for them and just use their cars on the street are a misguided bunch.

This is way out of my league, but I bet there are aftermarket options that are cheaper and better.
I vote that if you are driving an SUV hard enough that ceramic brakes help, you left the safety zone long ago.
Less weight, better thermal stability, longer life, supposedly better brake feel, etc. There's a reason they're stupid-expensive, but on an SUV? Just bragging rights, imo.
Actually very few, from what I know... and I couldn't even find a listed price.
With that said, it's gotta be less expensive than PCCB replacements from Porsche... which are $12k+ for just a pair of front rotors. Another 8-10k for rears.
My Ceramics work fine on the street you wouldn't know the difference in normal driving and I don't owe a million plus or even half of that.

Good, now second test:
Are your tires some some Chinese brand?
I see lots of expensive cars in Toronto with garbage tires. Bet they have ceramics too.

Because lots of expensive cars in Toronto are owned by poser people with no money. It's crazy when you start buying exotics and see how many people summer lease for 3 months and never service the cars because they have no cash.
even if I wanted Chinese tires ( I don't ) I don't think you can get any in Front tyre size, 245/35 ZR 18. Rear tyre size, 335/30 ZR 18. ...........I won't even put Non name brand tires on a hot rod or muscle car

That's what I'm thinking.
@Gary, my BIL took out a bunch of crossover/ SUVs last month -- RZX, Edge, Venza, Enclave etc. Said for the $, and feel, Edge won. So he bought it. Lincoln should be the same, only better, right? I was surprised he liked it better than Toyota / Lexus

This times a zillion. Once I started working with cars like that at my shop you wouldn't believe the amount of people who could afford the lease payment but freaked out and peed their pants at maintenance costs. You know Ferrari brakes should be right in line with pricing for dodge caravan parts
Those are the people I can't stand. They just get it for attention. Waste of a car imo
Venza is discontinued, good luck with resale value down the road....
Did he buy the new redesigned 2016 Edge, or last years tired model?
what the hell is an RZX?
The MKC Gary is looking at is just a gussied up Ford Escape, not related to the Edge.
