How long will brakes last?
I have an 08 LS460 with 50k miles on it. Most of it city miles. I'm an average driver and not too hard on my brakes.
I searched the forum and couldn't find anything?
How long should they last?
How much to get fixed?
Anything else I have missed?

if you just need the brake pads replaced they cost about $180 for both axles from your Toyota dealer. They will need to special order them. I've been told that they are easy to replace, but since I'm not mechanically inclined I got the Toyota dealer to do it. Lexus will most lilely charge you $300/axle

It all depends on who is driving the car. I know lots of people who can't get 30K out of a set while I can get 80K or more.
I replaced my miserable stock 'Textar' pads with Raybestos pads. The stock pads had chewed up the rotors long before they ran out of lining so I had to replace the rotors also with Raybestos parts. They've been great - the stock pads produced brake dust like crazy and the Raybestos pads are nearly dustless.

also.. supposedly there's a $150 sensor that needs to be replaced also..

I am not hard on my brakes. On my 08 I have had to resurface the rotors every 25k. they keep pulsing.Replaced the pads once. I'm at 82k
I think the rotors have hard spots. First time they were redone the first thing out of the lexus dealers mouth was it was done as a "courtesy" and there were no hard spots on the rotors. I plan on have the rotors replaced soon

I don't go into the dealership anymore unless to get my car washed and cleaned. I purchase my filters online and bring oil before dropping it off at the local place.
I'm just looking for guidance as I'm a complete car idiot. LOL
I don't want to damage the car and want to have all the parts in purchased and ready to go before I need them changed.
