Default Brake pads longevity

Hey guys,

My moms 2000 es300 has 50,000 miles. She purchased the car brand new back in 2000 and she said the front of the car vibrates when she is stopping. I told her it is most likely a warped rotor, but I will take a look to see.

How long generally do brake pads last? I'm assuming that it is about time to change her brakepads for new ones.

BTW I did a search and cannot find how long brake pads are supposed to last under normal driving conditions for Es300's.

thanks

Bryan

but then again, it's a blind guess

Cool

There is no possible way to answer a question like that. It depends on the driver.
