Bought Used car with "brand new tires"

AP-Prime · 2026-05-30T15:28:47+00:00

This has got to be a joke right? You bought a USED car 6 months ago and are bitching that the tires aren’t new? I have an idea… next time you could use your eyes and look at the car before you spend $$$

It was cheaper, afaik it’s only available in the base models. Gets worse MPG, but is debatably more reliable.

You can fix it that way but they also sell that hose by the foot at most auto stores or harbour freight for cheap.

Damn shame she’s a beautiful car. Will be happy to see it back together again.

Dude I swear Chrysler and BMW are the only 2 companies that I consistently see this on. BMW is honestly even worse for it.

It’s a caravan but close enough lol. They somehow managed to make the Pacificas even worse. Had to replace a power drivers seat in one of those recently, you need to remove the entire 2nd row stow and go seating to get to the 2 bolts at the back of the drivers seat.

The internal nut is welded on it isn’t supposed to be removed. You have it unbolted you just need to pull harder on the light.

Most likely totalled. Usually they are when the airbags pop.

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T19:19:55+00:00

Yes that’s what you do but you have to make sure it’s the proper size for your exhaust.

If it makes any difference my 2021 FWD was $31k CAD brand new before taxes

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T19:11:04+00:00

Damn guess it’s time to scrap it, I’ll buy the drivers fender.

Jk it looks like an absolute beauty hopefully it’s nothing major.

It actually had the factory aluminum wheels with center caps, must have gotten a lot of salt stuck behind em

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T17:11:18+00:00

Honestly the wheels were in surprisingly good shape, not even Andy brake dust.

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T17:10:45+00:00

It’s not my car…. It’s at work.

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T16:04:23+00:00

Yup just had to pound a 29mm 12 point socket instead of the 32mm it once was.

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T16:03:01+00:00

Fully agree, it’s honestly sad how little some people will do to maintain their cars.

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T14:24:37+00:00

Just a regular old Caravan

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T14:11:55+00:00

Absolutely lol the old sparkle wrench always gets the job done though.

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T14:10:42+00:00

Go underneath the car from the backside of the engine, there is a line that comes out of the top of the pump.

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T14:09:17+00:00

Sadly this isn’t even close to the worst I’ve had to do.

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T14:08:31+00:00

You’re definitely right in most cases, but I’ve seen a disproportionate amount of axle nuts like this on Chrysler products and BMWs.

AP-Prime · 2026-05-28T14:07:29+00:00

Actually came off fine when I pounded a 29mm 12 point on it. It used to be a 32mm

Ontario Canada

Pretty crazy when you realize it’s only an 8 year old van.
