5,175 only rears changed? Bizarre. Less than 1,000 miles. Maybe they meant fronts as those wear a lot quicker??
5,478 ALL 4 tires changed
8,070 BOTH PADS replaced again!!
Tires must have been replaced again sometime for a second time after 8K miles.
Yes, track use. Rear tires usually get around 10K-12K miles and fronts more.
Seeing all 4 tires were changed right after pad changes confirms it was being tracked.
First question would be about chips, but front end had PPF. Biggest concern is condition of rotors. I believe around $20K for set of 4?? Check wear, cracking or warping. PCCB's are not a favorite of any track guys. Too $$$ of a consumable. For street only use will last life of car. Not so much on the track.
Me? I'd be concerned. I inspected a heavily tracked car a few months back for a Rennlister. Wasn't evident until I saw it in person. Was similar mileage as this one. Tons of chips on paint and windshield. Steel rotors heavily grooved, and the muffler and cats definitely looked like exposed to high heat. Say what you want about the engine, but it's been "worked hard". Some say that's what they're made for, and that's fine and dandy.
I just like a cleaner past. Same reason I wouldn't date or marry a **** star
I would want an IN PERSON inspection to make my own personal decision If I was considering it to confirm the above comments.
That's my take for what it's worth .... advice is FREE ..
But what if the **** star has changed their ways and now living a normal, dust-free, life? =)
Anytime!!
"The past" always comes back to haunt people. There's no delete button. Something people don't realize these days with the Internet and social media. Videos?? They live on forever.

Indeed. I spoke to the dealer and they said it was just CPO'ed this past week, and they'll send me the detailed CPO report on Monday. If the PCCBs check out and don't have any significant wear/cracks, how much confidence would that give you? Anyone know how detailed these reports are?
I'd want someone other than a dealer inspecting the rotors. Someone that knows these rotors.
You wouldn't believe how bad the steel rotors were on the CPO that I looked at. They weren't even CPO approvable I believe.
The PCCB's are $$$$. Not to mention, I would never buy a car like this with her personally seeing it in person either. Don't trust anyone else's eyes except mine. I'm too picky.

I drove four states over to see mine in person. I didn't get a PPI but there were no red flags, either. It's a $100k purchase...
^^^ for $76K, nice deal. 16K miles.
Looks like a VERY well taken car of car!! Thanks for the find
Looks like he's been trying to sell it a long time. I think asking $86K and $84K in the past didn't move it. WP0AB2A99DS121157 Attachment 1185178
Found his contact info: Attachment 1185162
I'm giving this one a bump. He had an offer this week, but it is still available. With nice options, excellent maintenance and less than 16,000 miles, I'd buy it myself if I didn't already own one. Seems like a great buy in the mid $70s...

I agree. Should be a HFS Alumni car
Lots of guys looking for cars, but don't see many selling either.
Suncoast gets $11.5K for front PCCB rotors (pair), $10.2K for rear pair. Pads are semi-reasonable at about $380/pr, front or rear.
$23K+ for a full set of rotors and pads, at a Suncoast discount. Local dealers are likely significantly more... Plus labor, which is probably more hours than steel rotors...
There are quite a few threads about how to tell if your PCCB rotors need replacement without a definitive answer. Last time I looked at a PCCB car, the local dealer wanted $350 just to inspect the rotors independent of the PPI!
