How long do Rotors last?

I have a 95 993cab with 40k miles and am having the car serviced and was told it needed pads and rotors before the next 2000 miles or so. Seems strange as I had a 82 911sc with 70k miles and just replaced pads and the rotors were still fine at 70k miles. I do not track the car.

This is a real "it depends" - I've heard/seen rotors get replaced below 40k and up to 75k. Are they warped/grooved? That might drive the recommendation.

Both pads and rotors have a minimum allowed thickness. Do you know if the shop measured that and if so, what those measurements are? If not, I would ask for those measurements or at least ask the shop what they are basing their recommendation on.

Wow, here's a blast from the past. See you're still kickin' Kelly. Hope all is well.
Sorry for the hi-jack, back to the topic.

85k miles w/ original rotors & clutch. Now on second set of pads. Rotors are getting close to needing to be replaced, but my clutch still feels good.
