My dilemma: should I part out?

Would appreciate the advice of the forum...

I currently have my car for sale (link here). https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...hreadid=372544

The tires on the gunmetals were just about shot, and I hadn't received much interest on my car. So I put some brand new shoes on. I went top of the line - Michelin Pilot A/S 245/40/18 - total bill came to over $1,200 w/ alignment and road hazard. My thinking was that I probably would have to keep the car, so I went w/ the Michelins as my previous Pirelli Pzero's were crap.

Well, wouldn't you know it - I've got an offer for the car 2 days later but the buyer prefers the stock wheels. Can I part out and expect to get anything close to my $ back on the new tires? The offer is $26.5k for the car with stock wheels. Can I expect to get at least 80% of my money back on the new tires? They literally have less than 100 miles on them. I'm sure everyone know how expensive they are - roughly $240-270 per tire depending on where you buy. Should I sell the car, and then take the rubber off the gunmetals? I'm considering placing a feeler for sale ad on the forum. What do you all think? I need to make a decision soon. (By the way, I strongly endorse these tires - so smooth it almost makes me want to keep the car.) Thanks.

That sucks. Would be interested in the RIMS only if selling.

Guys- if you wanna buy/sell- take it to PM or continue this discussion in the BM thread. Otherwise answer the man's questions.

Your thread in the Black Market has been closed, and this one is closed also.

When your car is sold and items are available, you can repost the thread in the Black Market.
