With respect to aftermarket accessories, don't expect to to get your money back out of them, or think that they will increase the value of the vehicle.

True, I didn't figure them into the price but I figure if my car is priced the same as another similar Miata the extras would make mine a more attractive purchase.

Should I bite the bullet and get new tires? They're not bald, just close to the wear bars.

I generally avoid buying tires, until such time as the currnet ones emit sparks when coming in contact with the asphalt :D

As for whether it would make yours more attractive to potential buyers, I dont think new tires would raise the value, but they would eliminate a point that the buyer could use to try to get you to come down on your price.
