I've been reading on here for a while and I'm about to buy my first porsche. I just did an inspection at the Porsche dealer. They didn't check the alignment like suggested in that one guys article, but I had no choice, they were non-negotiable.

Everything came back good as far as mechanical condition, but the car needs a lot of maintenance. It's a seal gray 2002 2.7 with 72,000 miles. The owner is not too flexible on the price, but I'm concerned with some of the necessary maintenance.

- Front rotors past spec, rear rotors .5mm away from being out of spec
- Needs and alignment
- brake fluid needs to be replaced
- front tires not far from wear indicators
- light bulbs, small crap

Where is the best place to buy rotors? I just want something as good as OE for the best price.
