Ok, rotors are made of steel and have a lot of heat and friction applied to them during everyday driving. I start at 60K miles and will go no further than 75K on the rotors...then I replace them. No I will not turn them down...it's just not worth it.

I put a new set of drilled Balo Rotors and Mintex pads on my 2000S for about $300.

I've just not read about many people replacing rotors on here and I was just trying to see if I was wrong in my thinking. I guess I was more frustrated than anything to have to sit there and here them try to come up with a reason to talk me down.

They came out tonight to see the other parts I have that I am planning on including with the car. They are trying to get my car for a steal and I'm not going to let it happen. I already am considering a lower price than I was hoping for. Think I'm ready to move on although I know I will miss it. Trying to make grown up decisions blows.

Jake,

I don't know what your asking for your car and I don't know your situation. I really hate to see people having to give away their cars because they have to...and some buyers can see that and will take advantage.

Be strong, if they keep coming back then they want the car. Stick to your guns and get your asking price!!:troll:
