2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP w/Comp Group 3.8 Supercharged from North America
Summary:
Wonderful performance sedan that did not forget the family
Faults:
Something in the front suspension (some bolt) came loose 2 times. Last time the dealer fixed it right.
General Comments:
Wonderful performance sedan that did not forget the family.
If you want any kind of performance out of it, must use super unleaded gas.
Only thing to make it better is 30+ more horses (see 2006 GTX) and AWD.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

First of all, you docked points for the car when the car had nothing to do with your problem. You said the car had 6000 miles on when you bought it, so you don't know how bad the brakes were worn at the time of purchase.
Second, a lot of places won't turn down rotors anymore. It is very hard to do because if there is any type of flaw in the rotor after turning them, you'll ruin a new set of brake pads very quickly. Over the years, the cost of rotors has come down so much that is usually cheaper and easier just to put new ones on the car.
Plus, if that 180 bucks included labor, then that's not a bad deal for pads and rotors all the way around.
