2012 Fusion we just bought.
Noticed brake noise, and checked.
Pretty sure someone ran a pad down and ate the rotor.
Then replaced pad.
Rotor is a mess.
Can't find my anti-sieze, so I need some.
Just got back from the parts house.
Front rotor, mid grade pads.
Standard rear pads.
Small set if 3/8 drive Torx bits to remove rotors. Thought I had them, not sure.
Little tool to screw piston back in.
Bottle of brake lube,
small container of anti-sieze.
I'm in over $200.
Bought this car because it's listed as one of the most reliable used cars.
Put two new tires on it. $300
Needs struts, tie rod ends, and alignment.
I'll do the work, about $400.
Alignment is $70.
$1000 in this thing I paid $6k for.
Last car was a 95 Subaru.
$1500. Ran it 4 years.
$400 paying someone to do timing belt, cam/crank seals, water pump...
Swapped the newer tires from my junker.
$100 filler tube.
Not another dime in it.
I hate cars!
