I asked my indie to check the values, knowing that I was probably pretty close. This is a wear item on these cars, and after around 60-65k miles, these pads just wear out. If you don't replace them, they'll eventually cause really big problems that are even more expensive to fix.

I am curious to know if replacing these pads was a part of the standard maintenance schedule. My guess is a lot of owners decided to trade the car in rather than do the job, passing the problem down to a second owner who either didn't know the problem existed, or was unwilling to spend the money, thus perpetuating the issue.

Oh well, this is a wonderful little sports car. I will never, ever get my money back out of it, unless you consider the miles of smiles when I drive it.
