I bought a car with bald tires, what can I do?

Didn't you take a close look at the vehicle before buying it? I think this is on you.

If you purchased it "ONLINE" , I don't know how you could have seen this without very detailed pictures or information provided? Pretty bad business to sell a vehicle from even a used car dealer and feeds the poor reputation of "used car dealerships".... Casts a pretty big shadow over everyone in this business..... NOT GOOD.

Follow up... purchase a ", used car" from a "New car dealership"... They have to maintain a high reputation because they sell new cars and don't want to ruin their good name ..,. And , go see the car and drive it yourself before making any deal... Sure, It's possible today to make any transaction online, but, I'm sure when you went to get the car you were surprised to discover the tires...., Correct?

Lastly, if you actually purchased the car "in person" and DIDN'T look over everything including the tires, then , Bob. Is absolutely correct....

If you purchased the car sight unseen then you should have had an independent third party do an inspection on the vehicle. Pretty sure that EZAuto in not a dealership. Always get things in writing when buying a vehicle and never trust a salesman or a used car dealer unless you have prior experience with them. Yes, there are some that are reputable, but I think most are there just to get into your wallet.

Also, you did not by your vehicle from CarGurus as they don't sell cars. Also CarGurus has no control as to the honesty of the parties that advertise vehicles for sale here.

The issue IS, In July 2016 two and a half months ago the car receive a valid inspection sticker through "9/17" and two of the tires were completely bald and two would barely pass which means only two met the minimum requirements. I BELIEVED the salesman when I quizzed about the tires. The tires had to be ok in order to pass inspection right?

Not one of you who answered addressed the question. You did not read what I wrote. I'm a 63 year old professional who got fucked over purchasing a car from EZAOTO Group LLC who advertised in Cargurus? Wherever you got I bought it online, or didn't look at it, or ask questions is not what I am asking you. Should I call and report the illegal Inspection to the state police? I was almost killed on I-95 in the pouring down rain from hydroplaning on fucking bald tires and I'm sick and tired of getting ripped off. You don't have to reply....your stupid, careless replies only pissed me off more.

Yes I ran carfax, but you know as well as I that is for only what is reported. Why did I buy this from a used car lot? It was advertised on your site, the mileage was low, the carfax report was clean and I had all my questions answered, and I was in need of a dependable car to drive to SC to see my grandson. I did not know this place did not sell brand new cars. I would not have known the implications of that anyway. Again how does Joe know this by an add on Cargurus. Tell me, the ordinary Joe can tell if tires are bald or 3/36 by a visual? This was not my first time driving in the rain. I have a clean driving record, and have never had an accident. Did you even bother to not be condescending. I may not get my tires replaced, but I do have statements from two different sanctioned facilities that can and did verify in writing the condition of the tires. Buy new tires and move on. I wish I could purchase new tires, but in my world they may as well be $100,000.

Always have an independent shop inspect a vehicle before purchase, not the same place selling it. Conflict of interest. Bald or new, water requires slower speeds, it is the drivers responsibility to drive within their own limits and the limits of the parts on the vehicle. If you buy or own a car with bald or crappy water evacuation, its up to you to replace them or not drive beyond their abilities. It doesn't matter what they where yesterday or a year ago, it is nobodys fault but your own after you signed and drove off and decided to drive in poor conditions.

That is not necessarily true. Everything purchased for a vehicle can be tracked and found in the new computers and registers at the checkouts in any retailer or service center. You all are thinking 30 years ago and being lazy. If someone wants to do the work, her case can be proved from circumstantial to hard evidence of gross negligence and human endangerment and potential cause for a mass attack of violent injuries to innocent people, if it we're to o happen on the freeway or in front of a school when it was being let out. Trust me, I would pursue this before the statue of limitations is up. These sellers need to be held at a higher level of human respect and respect to our safety. Not every buyer has an I.Q. of gifted or genius. No one should be injured or punished for buying a Clearly UNSAFE VEHICLE because they didn't have good enough eyesight or intelligence. That my friend, is called discrimination against a section of people with whom may or may not have a disability. You could really take these jerks to the cleaners , in my opinion. Someone needs to set the new standard for decency among car dealers in 2018. We have dealt with being beat up by them for long enough. You just might start an entire new movement. I would get the media involved but not until you have talked to a lawyer. Good love, and may God be with you as you heal and rise in His grace. amen

I agree. I too, bought a 2019 Ford Connect from a Ford dealership. Sound Ford of Renton. The internal inspection passed. I expected to have nothing wrong with my vehicle as I drove it off the lot. I did not inspect the car myself. I am not a mechanic, I am not a tire guy, I had nice clothes on and I wasnt about to crawl under the vehicle to inspect the tires. The steel belts were showing on one and the other 3 were very close to showing. The connects are very low to the ground as it is designed for easy in and out with cargo. The wear and tear was coming from the inside of the tire. I didn't see it. Not too long after, I had a blow out on the highway and almost got in an accident. I think this is a gross negligant act where they sold me an unfit to drive vehicle.
