Nissan really got me
I bought my 350Z certified preowned with 56,000miles in January at North Plainfield Dealership and I went to get the emission and inspection stickers for the state of PA. I found out that my front bridgestones are done and just found out that my rotors are all done. The mechanic said my rotors were probably done before I bought the car.
He gave me the Rotor Spec: LF 7B RF 7B LB 6B RB 6B.
Basically Nissan got me good since none of this is included in their warranty.

did you not bother to look at the tires? thats one of the first things i would do when buying a used car. brakes would be second, lmao. no one screwed you, you just screwed yourself. rotors arent that expensive, buy a set from r1concepts.com. tires on the other hand will be a bit costly but nothing major.

Nissan CPO
I sell Nissans and let me tell you this. Nissan CPO is basically just an extended warranty. There is no extra inspection that the dealer will do most of the time. Although the used car saftey should have cought the brakes and tires. Used car safety inspections are kind of a joke. They just makes sure the car starts and stops. Thats about it. Sorry to hear you burned yourself and have to cover the cost. You might just try talking to the used car manager and if you are persistant enough he might give in. Good luck

When I checked out the car when i first bought it the tires were fine. Just after 3000 miles the front tires started feathering on the inside and steel was showing.

And as others have pointed out Nissan didn't sell you that used car, the North Plainfiedl dealership did.

It always makes me chuckle whenever I read the "bought used car, it's a lemon" stories."
Why didn't you take it to a trusted mechanic for inspection before you bought it? It's not a sure thing but any competent mechanic would easily pick out worn tires and rotors.
When buying a car, it is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that the car is in decent shape. The seller should disclose anything that may be wrong with it but ultimately, it is up to the buyer to protect themselves against this sort of thing.

I still remember it like it was yesterday, peering under what I hoped would soon be my Z to see brand new Michelin PS2s staring back at me.
How can you not check this? I know jack about buying cars and I still looked at the tires. It seems pretty obvious.

I was all over my 04.5 before I bought that car. I ended up getting new tires, brakes, and alignment done before I bought it. I dont know a whole lot about cars but, from reading on this forum as well as some others I wont mention I learned about buying a Z and what to look for. But, does it really matter? You have a Z so be happy. Enjoy it...
