93' Vigor Break Problem

Forgive me for my ignorance... i know VERY LITTLE about cars in general. I just bought a 93' Vigor, and when I took it in to have the oil changed and brakes inspected, they said that the front and back pads are gone, and all 4 rotors are 90-100% gone, and that they've been "pressed on" so bad that it's going to take them 4-5 hours of labor to get them off. I'm going to attempt to do the break job myself, but I can't find a Vigor in a part yard anywhere to take the rotors...

What is a comparable model whose rotors I can use? Does anyone know exactly what parts I'm going to need? Does the fact that they're pressed on mean I can't do it myself (with the help of a friend who's done it a few times before)?

what?

buy new rotors. check autozone or other part stores. even http://www.tirerack.com
has brake parts.

the dealer charging charging 4 hrs labor to remove the rotors is BS.
cal around and get some quotes on a brake job.
