2007 Yaris bad tires
Bought my 2007 Yaris on March 5th. Bought it used with 31304 at signing. Paid $8000, Dealer wanted $11,000. Anyway before I test drove the car I noticed that the tires had dry rot between the tread and on the side walls around the "goodyear" and DOT numbers. I told the dealer who assured me that the tires would be "taken care of". Test Drove and decided to buy it. Day I took Delivery I noticed same tires on the car as when I test drove...asked dealer about and was told " If they pass inspection we don't put new tires on" I'm Like how the hell can these tires pass inspection? Mad appointment to come back and have tires looked (I didn't want to take the car in the condition the tires were in, but they already had my plates on it and my trade taken away, so I had no choice), I cam back for the appointment a week later to have the tires looked at, showed the dealer and the sales manager and the car was taken right in to the service garage.
Long storey short 20 minutes later service manager comes out and says there is nothing wrong with the tires they found no dry rot "on the sidewalls, that's the only place dry rot happens". I'm like "are you HIGH lady!!?? My mechanic says this car should not have passed Inspection with these tires on it the vehicle". She in turn told me that the sales manager told her NOT to put tires on the vehicle, I said Fine I will be back when I get into the accident I am going to get into when I leave, If I live thru it, with my attorney..." She had the Gull to say to me..."I don't care if you do get in an accident...we don't own the car anymore...." What can I do? I am in Upstate New York and I have filed a complaint with the DMV here and filing one with the BBB as well. I should not have to put over $400 into car that I have only had 2 weeks....I've attached a few pics of the tires, you can clearly see the dry rot between the tread and outer rim of the tire.
