145,000 on Original front brake pads?

I bought my 99 Maxima from my company. It was a leased company car for a salesman. He put 132,000 in three years before I bought. I just got the front pads changed at 145,000. I have the service records that shows that the rear pads have been changed two times and the rear rotors were replaced. There is no record of the fronts ever being changed. Is it possible that they are the original pads?

Very curious
Jim

not possible. if the rears were changed twice already the fronts have shorter life spans.

they've probably changed at least a good 2-3 times already.

Sure it's possible. My 89 Honda Perlude went through 2 sets of rear brakes in 130,000 miles. I replaced the fronts for the first time @ 130,000 along with the rears again.

My buddies I30 has over 100K on original rears, yet my Maxima chewed up the rears in only 50K and I had almost 50% of the front pads left.

It all depends on your car, your driving conditions/style and what you lug around in your car.

Hey Tom,

I thought you were El Presidente of the SEL club, what happened? coup d'etat? (like my tri-lingualism?? (is that a word?))

Is your maxima stick? Because, if it is they could have downshifted at stop signs/lights, this would ease of the brakes. I just replaced my brakes at 110K and they still had some good miles left on them.

hmm, this is interesting.

never ever hear of oem brake pads lasting 100+k. i know driving conditions and habits are a factor.

good to know though.

Sorry, It is a ***matic!

Maybe the sales had them changed but never sent in the records.
Thank you every one for your replies.

Well I was never officially nominated as President, although I do belive I was the first to come up with the SE-L club idea.

What do you think, should I call myself the President?

I'll gladly put that back in my sig!
