New Car Help (with pole)

@CapitalCitySaint - I spoke to my co-worker today and I got the specifics. He said that he was quoted by the Audi dealer $4,600 for new brakes, front and back with rotors and pads. He went to another shop and was quoted $3,800 for them, so he went with the other shop. He went with only the rear brakes and rotors (I didn't ask how much that wound up being) and he said that he'd have the fronts done soon. He mentioned what others have said about Audi's brakes - they need to be replaced fairly often because they use soft rotors.

All of that said, if your heart is on the Audi and the additional maintenance cost isn't a big concern, I think you should treat yourself.
