Chuck replied: "Ceramic pads are noisy but go back to the mech. and have them check them they should do it for free . Unless you did it yourself
then pull a tire off and check your rotor , if you have deep crevises
in the metal your rims were tightoned down to tight ."

Is this a good buy for a 2003 Infiniti G35 Coupe? I am looking at getting an Infiniti G35 (so please don't recommend other cars - it is already a major leap for me to consider an import) coupe, 6-speed, with 70,000 miles (is that a lot of miles for this car?) for $15,000. It is currently owned by a mechanic, and did the services himself when needed, and said anytime I need work done on the car I will pay 1/3 of regular mechanics.
I know '03s have had some problems, I don't know if this makes any difference, but the manufacturers date is June '03, 3 months before the '04s were manufactured.
Now, the car has a new transmission and clutch. There was a minor problem with the clutch, and the current owners friend who works at the dealership overwrote the service ticket, and said it was the entire transmission and clutch. Thus, got the new upgraded transmission not found in the 03-04 models. Also, the brake pads are starting to wear out, but said he will replace all of the pads, bleed the brakes, and do a wheel alignment in the final price.
It is completely immaculate inside and out, no dings, scratches, or holes in the seats.
Features: Premium 19" wheels, rear spoiler, navigation, and brembo brakes (with aftermarket drilled and slotted rotors).
Thanks!

What's up with that rust near my rotors? I recently bought a used infiniti G35 and I noticed a lot of the cars at the lot (including mine) had rust near the rotors that can be seen through the rims. My salesman said it's due to the cars just sitting and not moving and would go away. Some of it has gone over the last few days, there's still some left. Should I be concerned?
Dr. Kenneth Noisewater replied: "its fine. when your car is not running everyday, moisture will settle on the rotor and rust b/c of the metal. it happens to almost every car. when you drive and brake, the brake pads will remove the rust in time"
Scott H replied: "The salesman is right. Rotors have an exposed bare metal surface and they oxidize easily. If they were driven regularly, you'd never see it. Not a problem at all, it won't hurt anything. It only wears away where the brake pads contact the surface."
Country Boy replied: "The rust from sitting on the rotor surfaces should disappear within 25 miles. The pads are slightly in contact to keep the rotors clean and dry. Check each rotor carefully. If you have rust after city driving (25) miles have the calipers checked and bleed the brakes. It's wise to have the brake fluid completely pressure flushed every five years. Old whiped out fluid loves moisture and that causes caliper piston sticking.
Be sure all caliper slider pins are clean and lubricated with synthedic high temperature grease."

ucantcme replied: "IT IS CAUSED BY THE LACK OF NOT USING THEM AND IT IS NOT A CONCERN AT THIS TIME."
