How many miles are brake pads good for?
Depends entirely on how you drive. If you come up to stop signs and signal lights and slam on the brakes and stop hard, or you drive at high speed and make sudden stops, your brakes will not last long. If your drive with your foot on the brake expect to be replacing them quite often. However if you drive easy and let off the accelerator long before you are going to stop and do not drive fast your brakes will last a long time. The average is around 50,000 miles but you may get 75,000 miles out of the front brakes and 100,000 out of the rear brake pads. All based on how you drive.

Why are the brakes pulsing when attempting to stop on a 1995 Buick Century?
It is quite likely it is the anti-lock brakes activating. When any wheel loses traction while braking the brakes will be pulsed so that the car will not go into a slide. When driving on slippery roads, you are suppose to pulse your brakes to stop. The antilock system does this for you.
