How did you become aware of the possibility that the dealer had damaged the clutch? I'm not trying to beat on you man, just trying to get the whole story.

How many miles/km were on the car when you bought it?
Had only 18 miles on it when I got it, but it was in a minor accident. Could have been an honest accident (hellish December in Canada + summer tires + 330hp + rwd) but more realistically I am guessing one of the dealership's employees did a burnout on the slightly icy roads and crashed it right as it came off the truck. I got it at about 3k less than the next best available price and had it fully inspected at a third party shop.

I set aside $1500 for a new clutch/flywheel right as I bought the car.
