Got a "new" company car last week. 2010 Impala LT with 25K miles. It wouldn't have been my first choice, but I just missed the cutoff to order a new car and this one ws sitting for the last 6 months unused so I agreed to take it rather than wait another 6 months.
It's not a bad car overall but the last driver clearly showed it little love. I took it in today for the 25K service (yes, I feel a little dirty taking any car to a "professional mechanic") and to get a tire leak plugged. After an hour, the Firestone guy comes out and tells me the fleet company approved 3 new tires. Ummm, ok. Doesn't the Impala have 4 tires? Yeah, the 4th tire is just above 6/32nds so they won't approve it yet. Whatever.
I wasn't too upset to see the awful Goodyear Integritys go but when the car came out it was wearing 3 new Primewell Valera Tourings. How bad are these things? I never buy the bargain brands when it comes to tires so I really have no frame of reference.
