I purchased my xfire 2 weeks ago...its an '04 with 16k miles on it...it needs new tires...it actually failed inspection b/c of it...the chrysler dealer I bought it from guarantees inspection so now I have to head back there and show the sales manager the tires and the DMV report noting why I failed...I'm assuming things will work out fine...I should've checked out the tires before driving it off the lot but my head was up my ****...

I would suggest heading back to the dealer and complaining...play dumb...be annoyed...offer up a sob story...see what you can get...some dealers actually will try to help you out...others could care less...

"look I plunked down a huge chunk of change to get this car...and you're easily making plenty of money off the deal...I don't know much about cars and now I find out my 'new' car needs new tires?!...you guys have to be able to cut me a deal here"...

It helps if your dealer claims they do "100 point safety checks" or whatever...most franchised dealers will use this ploy...whether they do it or not is suspect IMO...

If they supposedly did a safety check on the car...they should've dealt with the tires as very low treads are a safety hazard...

Best of luck...
