So i traded in my 2012 fiesta s a week ago saturday as it had been once by a coyote and once when a lady backed into me in front of my house while my car was parked. I was just fed up with it and my commute dropped from 50 miles per day round trip to about 6 miles. Perfect time to upgrade to this...
its a 2014 st1 with 9700 miles on it. I was so excited and have been in love with the car. The car was supposedly a certified used car. When i test drove it it had a slight vibration from about 40 mph-50 or 60ish. Car had new tires on it and i figured a mix of tire balance being off or the fact it has a stiff suspension and low profile tires. Again not a bad vibration just noticeably there. I have been around cars that just had a misbalanced tire that were wayy worse. SO I took the car in today to the quicklane tire center to have them balance the wheels. They got it up on the lift and boy what a surprise... ALL 4 WHEELS were bent. So here i am now stuck with a car that was obviously wrecked in some way but not reported to carfax as it had a clean carfax. I was completely honest with the dealer when i traded my car in and gave them all the information on both wrecks even though the second wreck never showed up on the carfax or autocheck. Anyways I'm waiting to see what the dealer does before i release there name because right now they have said they will work with me but have kind of transferred me person to person over the phone. Here are the pictures of the rear wheels and videos from all 4 wheels i took today after coming home from the quicklane.
