Then I need to dig out my 3/8" rachet/socket set and my 3/8" torque wrench.

160k miles and you aren’t driving it because you don’t want to add any more miles to it since it’s semi for sale? Lol

It's not worth it to let it go at a firesale price, and that's what dealers offer on these cars. Hold on to it for a few months and if you find it is just taking up space and you need it gone, then sell it privately in the spring.

I have generally had seller's remorse much worse than buyer's remorse when I've traded/sold my toys.
+1. I sold my '99 aerokit in March of 2015 when I got an unsolicited offer from a visitor who saw it just sitting in the parking lot of the museum. That allowed me to start the hunt for a 996tt. But damn, it was really hard to watch that car drive away. And I was a little depressed for the 6 months that I spent 996tt shopping, even though I still had a 951 and a 928 in the garage to play with. Even today, I regret selling the '99 as it was a great car.
