I have been ask why I traded a limited to a standard many times. The answer is that I really wanted a six speed car and I couldn't afford a new limited. I bought the '05 limited used with 36,000 miles on it in '06 so it sold pretty cheap being that it had so many miles on it. I had always wanted a rear drive sports car that was manual shift so I got one even at the expense of giving up a lot of options that the limited had.
