[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go drive a Porsche Macan or Cayenne. They blow any Lexus away. [/quote]

In maintenance costs? Sure does[/quote]

+ 4,274.16

Which is what front brake rotors and pads cost on my wife's Cayenne Turbo cost back in June. At 65,000 miles.

Meanwhile my 2011 Avalon with 160k was $600 for all four brakes, at 140k.

That Porsche has been the biggest POS we've ever owned. But she needs an appropriate "image" vehicle for work. So we deal with it.

Any mechanic can change brakes on a car, why would you do that at the dealer. You can even pay less if you buy the parts and let a mechanic just swap them![/quote]

No, "any mechanic" can't change the carbon-ceramic brake rotors. First, they're a dealer-only item. It's not like you can stop by Autozone on your way to Hair Cuttery to get your mullet trimmed,  and pick up a set of $3,000 rotors. Second, Jethro or Cletus down at the Texaco station have no idea how to install or heat-set carbon brakes.

So yeah, it's gotta go to the dealer for four grand. [/quote]

plastic, ceramic, SS, whatever.   Does it really matter unless you are professionally racing and I doubt that you are?  It's a shame that you are stupid enough to lock yourself into a dealer's claws in this manner.   I feel sorry for you boy.[/quote]
