I do want to trade it. I have had an off-hand debate with myself about replacing the tires, or letting the dealer do it. When I bought it, the dealer said they had serviced it and the tires on it might only have under 10,000 miles on them.

My husband bought tires off eBay once and made arrangements with our regular mechanic/tire shop to mount them. I was surprised the garage did it that way, but they did. We had some body work done around the same time, with a different shop. My husband asked if he would let him but the parts and bring them. The guy happily agreed. Actually, we liked him a lot and got some other body work done there. He seemed dedicated to bringing the jobs in way under the insurance payout. It was a joy to find someone with that mindset

You've been so helpful! Thank you!
