you said you painted it, and its really clean? Then you can get more $ out of it. Some people are willing to pay more for an auto (since the auto trannys cost more).
Just put your car in the paper and see what you might get for it. And then make up your mind.
Hell, you might be able to sell the car for as much as you can buy a clean 5 spd, and still have 1000$ left over for a paint job.
see but then, its really hard to find a car that im lookin for which is: 96-00 civic, 5-speed, 4-door, silver, LOW mileage (below 70,000), got taken care of (with regular services), and in good condition, THEN comes the registration for the car again, which was 600 for the civic i have now and taking all the parts i put into it and make it stock again...both options of selling the car or payin a grand to swap it to manual has its pros and cons...thas why im still debating which would be more time saving/money saving...it would be nice to hear more opinions
