Calipers have weird "stuff" on them...

What did you wash the wheels with? Some of the washs out there will stain if you don't rinse it good.

That's what I am thinking MIGHT have happened... Can't remember if they were like that when I bought it or not.

What do you think the odds of the dealership covering this under warranty are?

It's not a cleaner - it's definitely heated brake fluid that weep-ed and went down your caliper. I had it on mine, and it was EXACTLY the same. No doubt, Mike's seen it a ton of times himself.

Ask your seller if he ever pushed the brakes hard, or have you pushed them pretty hard yourself?

I haven't pushed them hard (at least I don't think I pushed them hard enough to have this happen).

Anyone care to give me a clue how likely it is the dealer would cover this? They just recently replaced a broken gas door lock mechanism that was broken when I bought it, but they did it under warranty without asking any questions so maybe this caliper thing isn't too far off?

It's worth a shot, that's for sure. You could argue your brake bleeder valve is leaking for no reason and as such, it permanently stained the finish on the calipers.

sounds like a good plan.

anyone wanna get me some pictures of your calipers with the milage on them? I just want to make sure this sort of thing wouldn't happen just from age. Plus it's something extra to prove my point to the dealership.
