Might be selling my VX.

I know..........I haven't been around much. Well, I've been looking. A Jeep Commander Overland has caught my eye. I know it's not the same sharp styling of the VX, but there's something about it I like.

My VX has been a great, exhilarating experience. I took it to the promise land 6 times (Moab ZuZu). It's been awesome. My vehicle has the following:

Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrain 285/60VR-18, White Front Skid Plate by Vehicrossconcepts.com, Flow Master Muffler, Dual Chome Tip SS Exhaust, Swordy's Designed Custom Rock Sliders, Jay's Designed Custum Belly Skid Plate, Two RearTrooper Skid Plates, Line-Xed Bra, Line-Xed Front Cladding, 4200 Series Pilot Driving Lights, Malibu 18 Watt Bulb in Fog Lights, Custum VX Side Marker with White Backing made by Klearz Lens, Custum VX Clear Turn Signal made by Klearz Lens, Custom Titanium VX Front Logo, Flashing Brake Light by Tone, Flashing Indicator Side Lights, Window Fairings made by WeatherTech, OME 912 Springs, K& N Air Filter, Dynamated the Spare, Tone's Storage Box, Tinted Windows, One Inch Wheel Adapters, and Debadged the Ironman Logo.

127K miles
clean interior
2 inch scratch on the hood,
no other damage to the body
runs exceptionally well

I've had it 9 years, and it had 17,000 miles on it when I bought her.

This is what she needs:
New tires - $1136 for Nitto Terra Grappler All Terrain 285/60VR-18
Front half shaft - $450
Both windows bind - I bought the fix - I haven't installed yet
Drivers tail light will not come on - I put a new fuse in - it last about 2 minutes before blowing - I'm guessing $60
ABS light on

I checked out two places to see what I might get as a trade in.
CarMax - $1700
Dealership - $3000

Wow! Really! My Front skid Plate, custom rock sliders, and my custom belly skid plate is over $1000 alone!

Is this what I can expect?

Peace.
