[quote=kev374]$1300 for brakes?? Oh my lord! This is the definition of insanity. This is the reason I say German cars are fantastic to drive but impractical to own. If you feel the itch to drive one just rent one but own a Japanese make.[/quote]
Lexus brakes are $800-$900 all around (with machining, if needed). Toyota brakes are about $750-$800. I’ve also heard the Volvo needs brakes every 10-12K miles. I think that’s ridiculous.
