These cars are selling at such drastically reduced prices, that I feel it would make no economic sense not to buy a Limited. It's true, the resale value isn't that great either. But when it comes time to sell your car, you will find more potential customers for a Limited also.
The brand new Crossfire (sale) prices between the base and the Limited is probably only a few $1,000 dollars. If you're going to finance it, it really shouldn't raise your car payment by that much.
So unless you are allergic to the smell of leather, I'd say go for the gold.
