Question Need Help ASAP... Weird vibe maybe bearings?

Alright.... Super newb (me) just bought an 03 coupe w/ 46,000...

I made the dealer knock off 1.5k due to the fact that the brakes were squeeky and the rotors maybe needed to be replaced...

Turns out its not the rotors... when I go slow you hear a woo woo woo woo woo sound as if it needed bearings but only from 0-15 mph... Could it be my tires? Its sitting on Nitto NT555 (looks like theyre new) or the bearings. Would this be possible at only 46k????

Let me know before I **** on the dealer... Please

That was quick...
Its about 50 miles away, and they dont reinburse me for gas...
I called them and they said for me not to drive over there, get the price for the bearings (since thats what I think it is) But can it be the tires as well?

Noise issues....?

You must return it to the dealership! You don't know what the problem is
so replacing the bearings is stupid at this point. Take it back and make them
fix whatever's making that noise....45K shouldn't be bearings!

yeah it soundslike your tire's are uneven. Check the wear of the front tire's and also if your feeling a vibration when stopping then i would say its your rotors.

Its not the rotors, but Im getting cross drilled and slotted anyway.
It just happened at low speeds, accelerating and decelerating...

Why buy a car from a dealership and ask them to knock off $1500 for an issue??? I'd have them fix the issue and also knock off $1500.

Think about it... there must be a serious problem with your car that they knew about. The $1500 service would only cost the dealer maybe $250 in parts...

I don't think that you'll get anywhere now if you take it back to the dealership (unless its been within a week or so). I'd take it to a local mechanic that you trust and have them look at the car.

But... all that asside, congrats on the new G. Its definitely a fun car!

Well, it was the tire problem and the squeeky brakes.... Im replacing the rotors and pads and calling it a day... The 1500 was a price I dropped the dealer down just for him to lower the price. He was a young salesman and needed 2 more sales to meet his months bonus so he gave it up in no time.
