Well that’s extremely unfortunate.... ‘ within tolerance ‘.... I would certainly understand if you decide to sell, I wouldn’t put up with very obvious vibrations at road speed. I’m very sensitive to anything like that in my cars so it’s either something I would have sorted out or sell.
I hope you do get it sorted for you piece of mind
Good luck
Take your car up to the speed that it shakes, put it in neutral, shut the engine off. If it still shakes, it's not the engine or torque converter.
