    Why can't they just replace new brakes and let him keep the car?

    they'd keep making noise i'd say. do they run carbon brakes on those? it'd be worse with them haha

    I'm no engineer, but from what I understand, the noise is coming from a brake caliper coming into contact with a break disk, maybe because they're badly tuned, or not adjusted properly, or maybe even a manufacturing fault. So if they simply changed the whole set, I'm sure the problem would be fixed?

    ^^ If it was that simple it woudl have been "fixed"

    I'm with previous suggestion. THe guy didn't drive ti enthusiastically enough and so the rotors would go "off" and the pads not make flat contact and bingo it squeals.

    Well if they gave him back the money he paid for the Lamborghini it should be enough for him to get another one anyway.

    I think when you buy a Peach-colored Gallardo, you're guaranteed to never drive it enthusiastically...besides, if you go too fast, no one will see you...
