  • Neighbor was looking for a car for her daughter and wanted me to look at a used CX-5 once. It was an AWD with like 70k miles that they wanted 19.5K for. It was in decent shape, no leaks, no dry rotted ball joint boots, minor cosmetic scratches in the paint, but it had 3 different brands of tire on it and one of them was bald with literal chunks taken out of it. This is bad on any car, let alone an awd where different TREAD patterns on each tire can wear out the AWD faster. Also really needed an alignment.

    I also pulled the back seat up (highly recommend doing this on any used car, it reveals the secrets you can’t vacuum out of the carpet) and found cheerios, fries, and a bullet.

    Told the sales guy we’d pay 18 if they put a set of four good, matching tires on it and aligned it and he was like “well, we’re a volume dealer so we only make a few hundred dollars on each car”. BS.

    On a separate experience, i went with a friend who very much could have been my partner and paying for this car and he literally didnt acknowledge her the whole tome. Then I had the sales manager yell at me across the shop floor as I was leaving to take thousands off the price since he “had to move cars this month”.
