You can't be serious.

I would imagine your the guy that's been rear ended 10 times and are suing work because the disability isn't enough from your work "accident."

Do y'all realize that to sell a vehicle as CPO often requires the dealer to put on new OEM sized tires? Doesn't explain the tonneau cover, but that may be a requirement of GM's CPO program as well.

Not trying to defend car dealers as they are all trash, but this might be something they are required to do by GM.
That's all perfectly fine. The dealer shouldn't advertise one thing in online photos and then attempt to sell a lesser product.

Just be up front and honest, it's not that hard.

Didn’t say it wasn’t bad business, but they can do anything they want to do….as long as it’s legal.

And we can have an 8 page thread on what a derelict of a dealership they are.

I don’t see a bed cover in the dealer pics. Just the rail cap the covers the top edge, which comes from the factory? New tires off brand vs old ties that may have had a nail in Side wall. Would rather have 4 matching new tires then one miss match new tire and three worn tires. Think your over reacting a bit here.

That’s fine. I spent 20 minutes discussing the cover with the salesperson when I did the test drive. I also did the test drive with the Goodyear tires on. If you think all new tires are the same then you do you.

Do you see the cover in this pic?

Surprised that someone from the dealership hasnt seen this post and tried to reach out to you. They are sure getting lots of well deserving publicity here at TD. LOL

This has become a theme in the last couple of years with used car dealers. They used to put Michelin or other tier one tires on upmarket marques and tier two on most of the rest now I see Mercedes, BMW and Lexus getting names I have never heard of.


I see it on Bring-a-Trailer on some pretty nice cars as well. You have nice car then put some way off-brand Chinabombs on it?

It’s an AT4 truck. Those are supposed to come with off road tires, not Chevy Cruze tires. If they were going to replace a “defective tire” then they need to put the same size tires and be off road tires

Those tires were most likely factory and would need to be changed in a couple of years if not sooner.

Yep, tire warranties do not cover factory installed tires.
Dealer likely thought OP would not notice the difference.
They hate that the average buyer has a grasp on everything now thanks to the market. Can't just sell you some crap unit sitting on the lot anymore.

If the paperwork was already done, doesn't that make you the legal owner of the truck? If that's the case, then wouldn't what they did be considered theft?

Looks to be a certified truck. In order to certify a vehicle it has to pass an inspection. If I had to bet the tires that were on it when traded didn't pass. They took pictures with the old tires after detail but before recon. They should have put AT tires on an AT4. Stupid cheap arse move. And they should have retake pictures for the website.

in the mid 70's, Ryan would order all of their cars with no radio. the factory radio was about a $500 upgrade, so they would install what Mac called "mickey mouse radios" that probably cost $20, but they would charge the factory radio price.


I always had a hatred for Ryan Cheverolet. Between their hillbilly image and those chicken suit TV spots, they irritated the hell out of me.
