my experience over the past few years shows that most new cars have brake rotors that cant be machined by the time the pads wear out. Some people get lucky though.
Also, replacing pads without machining rotors isnt recommended because you get hot spots where the ridges of the rotor meet up with the flat new pads. Can cause warping, and definitely decreases braking power until the pad conforms to the rotor surface (there is typically only 60% of the rotor in contact with the pads when doing this).
