Need advice - trade-in or wait?

Hi -

Not sure if this is the place to post this but I am in a bit of a predicament.

I bought a 2015 Impreza last fall. Its a manual sport premium. Long story short, I want an automatic. Whats the best way to get this done?

I have already looked at selling it back to the dealer and buying a new 2016 - but thats quite a chunk of change.

Any advice is appreciated - thanks!
