2003 se RIP ): But hello 2005 Camry XLE

well on august 18th While driving my high milage but much loves 2003 Camry SE (FIVE SPEED MANUAL!!!!!! love manuals.....) A tree fell and hit the car, yes while I was driving. it smacked the windshield and sorta rolled over the roof, the map light cluster over my head fell out and hit me in the head. I lost the car. It had the really nice black interior that most of the used ones that come up for sale seem to not have. I had only had it 8 months. I survived with only lots of glass to pick off of my self and small cuts to various parts of my hands and head.

I ended up buying a 2005 Camry XLE (indigo Ink Pearl.....that means its blue lol)

Needless to say its much smoother than the 2003 and it had to be an automatic, I couldnt get another camry with a five speed anywhere and its really nice in many ways. The Stereo while it is the JBL that usually comes with these years, it actually has all the sound in the front and doesnt seem to go as loud as the 2003, I like the fact that like the 2003 SE it has both a cassette and CD player. Sometimes I feel like I bought an old man car now, lol. But if I get an after market Stereo, will I still be able to use the Stering wheel controls?

this is a very nice car, I still want it to be a manual, though, go ahead my whole family thinks I'm nuts because this is my first ever automatic trans, and I am 39.
