What did it have when you got it ? I 've put about 60 k on it from when I had first bought it.I'll certainly try.

I'm already having second thoughts about the brake job. I last did them in 2015 and even then I remember it being a PITA. I think with another seven years of rust it's going to be an absolute nightmare.I wouldn't be surprised if it costs a grand to have them done at a shop though. Calipers may very well be fooked at this point too. It drives fine and there's still some pad left, so I suppose I could just leave it be and take the hit on resale when I go to sell it in the spring.

I spent a long time with a large hammer changing ugly rotors on my B2000 pickup because they braked fine but looked ugly (I think they were original at 350,000) only to find the shiny new discs braked pretty much the same
Braking is fine in the dry, but I’ve had a few concerning moments in the wet and slush last winter. Pedal feels fine, but it can take forever to stop in the wet. My best guess is that the rotors are so pitted that moisture gets in between the pad and rotor and takes a while to boil off?Rotors look bad enough on the front side, but on the backs there are actually rusted chunks flaking off in the swept area.
Man, that is in really good shape. How many kms are on it?
Cleaned up the Vibe. Sent notes around to friends to see if anyone wants it, if not it's off to Marketplace, etcIt's done me well. The TAC Shinee wax Rrocket recommended gave it a nice gloss:
I might know someone who would interested.
