Even if your next Cuda was registered in CT, it wouldn't matter. CT, OH, TX, CA you still have to go through the same stuff. My Chally I got in MI, I just got a temp plate, then did the VIN inspection and that was it. I didn't have to do the lights, wiper, horn check and then do the braking skid pad. Just the VIN check and that was 1 year ago.
Anyway, good luck on your search, not many Mopar places around here to find good stuff. XV if you have the $$$ to get work done. I haven't heard anything good or bad about that place in Middlefield. Have you looked into the Mopar club Mopars In Motion of CT?
