Your first post states you purchased the car 21 months ago, was it sitting on the new car lot the rest of the time?

If you want my vin number so you can run a carfax let me know.... just in case you want to confirm I am the original owner of my vehicle.
All work was done at the dealership and documented. Last time it was there I asked them to replace the pads because I assumed 50K+ miles was time to get it done. They told me I still had plenty of pad left. I forgot the percentage but it was very good. Not sure if they were pulling my leg but I figure they would want the business so why refuse to do the job. I have no squeeks and no sign of bad breaks.... that is all I know!

Oh I had 44k miles on my original limited, sold it with the original brakes and probably had another 20 - 30k miles worth of life left.
