If you want the manual...go for it, But I can't see the dealer making much of a deal for you, as the manuals are in "such demand".....in my mind, it would all depend on how much they would give you for your 08. I'll keep my 08....all the fun and half the work...plus no one can tell an 08 from the 09s...so it's like having a "new" car for another year..............(Just my two cents)
