I did the exact opposite of you, I went for a 4dr Wildtrak to a 2dr HLE. That's really sad, because Peak Blue is a great color and pretty rare on the HLE.
Hopefully you will have better luck with the Wildtrak.
I've found that if you get a Carmax or Carvana price and use it as a negotiating tool dealers will always match it, at least that's been my experience. Good luck, I'd keep the HE but you need to do what makes you happy, it's your money.
Harbor Freight is fine for hand tools, especially tools I don't use a lot but I wouldn't buy anything from them that puts my health or life on the line like jack stands or floor jacks. I haven't had any issues with their line of Hercules power tools.
