Buy Tires or Trade in

[Sal-XK]

Just trade it in now while car buying is a little slow might get a better deal. I don't see you gaining anything by waiting till mid summer the new models aren't out yet. You buy now you can probably find a 2011 left over and get a better deal since all the dealers have there 2012's in inventory right now. Or put tires on and wait till October or December to buy a car. I went threw the same thing in December do my wife's 90k service and put new tires on or get a new car. I decided to get a new car oh and she was approaching 100k miles and once you bust that number you get a lot less for your trade.

When we traded our Hyundai in on a new '10 Nissan, the dealer told us that two tires needed replacing on the Hyundai. Yeah, whatever. I thought to myself " it also has 190K miles ". They are going to give you as little as possible on your trade and I would venture to say that you wouldn't get your $400 investment back from them. Either trade it now as-is or get some used tires on it to ride for a few months. Dont ride with the bald tires. If they are bad enough that it is concerning you with the trade then they are bad enough to be replaced.

I would look at trading in. If you are going to do it in a couple months anyway you might as well do it now than sink more money into it. If you are going to try and sell it yourself or if you think that you will have to keep it for a couple months than get some used tires that will make it safe again. I couldn't imagine the nightmare of something happening because I didn't take care of my wife's car especially when a baby is involved.

Safety first on this one.

Indeed. We are going to check out some places this week and this weekend.

I say trade now. If dealers give you grief, do like cico7 suggested and get a used set.
