Greetings ALL!
After 13 years, our 1999 Ford "Exploder" Limited (146,000 miles) needed too much work to keep (over $4000) so we traded it in for a 2010 Ford Edge Limited with about 18,000 miles from a dealership. We had our mechanic check it out prior to the purchase and it checked out great. It's just about loaded minus navigation and DVD, and after much research we felt the price was reasonable, albeit a deal too good to be true. Let's just say I'm a skeptic and trust nobody and always wondering where the catch is. I hope that this truly is a good deal. The Carfax checked out but I know that they can miss things especially when they aren't reported. Anyway, it's been about 2 weeks now and we noticed a slight vibration when braking so I took it to our local dealership. They told me the front rotors needed to be machined? The cost-$167. Anyone have any suggestions? Wouldn't it be best and more cost effective to simply replace the front rotors?
