I bought a new set of wheels, and leaning towards just getting new sensors and tire mounted on them.
The dealer wants $450 for the sensors, including $72 to "program" the sensors.
Is there anything...

If $24,100 was financed for 72 months, with a payment of $399, it would be a 6% interest rate.

Rolling the lease payoff into the loan, and extending the term to 6 years is a HORRIBLE idea.

nope.
If anything, have the stripes redone in white.




Same thing I was thinking.
Even if it didn't ruin the vinyl, I would think that it would change the sheen of the vinyl...if not worse.

One more thing...

If this isn't trolling, and you are "stuck" with the car...you should be able to cancel the extended warranty for a full refund.
The refund will go to the lien-holder.

The only way the dealer is taking back the car is with a chunk of the OP's money, or possibly if the OP is a minor.

Tirerack.com shows some options for going down to 18" in winter tire packages, so I'm thinking it would be fine.
Just don't want to buy them only to find out there are clearance issues.
