Any recourse? (Long)

Bought my 99 93 in June (returned after a lease). Was told all service was performed by the dealer, and they have the records. Just brought it in for an oil change at a chain store (Mobil 1 was used). While they were doing their complimentry "12 point inspection", they noticed the rotors were damaged (groved in front, heat stress in back). They showed me the damage, so I know they're not trying to pull one over on me. The pads on all 4 are fine (exception of grooves), so it wasn't anything I did, and I've had the same pads on since I got it. The previous owner must have drove down to bare metal, and whoever did the work (assuming dealer) didn't turn the rotors or just replace them like they should have when they were damaged. Now, to do all the work it will cost me almost $600, when they could have turned the rotors when they did the brakes, for a lot less money (front one's anyway). If it wasn't for their incompetance I wouldn't need a brake job at all.
To top things off, the dealer had the wheels off at least twice in the past couple months and never said "boo" about the brakes. Do you think I have any leverage in getting the dealer to pay for it since it was their service department that didn't do it right (on a leased vehicle)? Or is it too late since it was a previous owner?
OR, is the place I brought it being too cautious, and everything is fine how it is? The brakes work fine right now.
Thanks to all.
