But when you literally could sell your car and buy more or less the same thing with a factory manual and save at least a couple of thousand (and an immense amount of time and headaches) in the process, it is difficult to fathom.

Of course, if you know what you are getting into and why, more power to you!
Neither method makes financial sense though.
It isn't exactly a cheap straight swap situation.
On the other hand this is not the time in automotive history to be selling off one car to buy the same thing with a different transmission either.
You need to really, REALLY want that MT.
