Spending $2K + your car to get a car with unknown history and more mileage just to get the panoramic roof, compared to keeping the car you know and love, makes no sense to me.
Now if you were considering a newer car still under factory warranty with lower mileage, then you'd have something to consider.

I agree with LNL
It makes no sense. If the car had less miles it would be different. The car you are considering has 17,000 more miles. Even if you estimate 15 cents a mile, that amounts to $2,550 of extra depreciation for the car with pano. Add the extra $2,000 and you are really talking about paying $4,550 for the pano roof 
Keep the $4,550 and enjoy your nice car

You've got a younger car that you know is good... and you want to trade it in & pay more?? NFWay.... and that dealer is a pig, making believe that his car is worth more than yours. Yours will sell off his lot faster than the one he has!

Get out the sawzall and cut off the roof, then you've got a convertible.
No, really, go do it!
Kidding. I'd buy a new one with a pano roof if you really want the pano roof.

Seriously, that's the stupidest idea I've ever heard. I'm surprised that even the dealership would suggest something so stupid.
Definitely don't do it, that's a no brainer. Crazy dealership. It's a Stealership, or Thiefship, or Murdership. Whatever, that's absolutely insane.
