That's a good price. I would say $12-12.5. It has low miles and is it has a clean carfax then you're set.

The car is an auto, my wife was wanting a manual though. Are manuals really scarce? I would assume that the manuals have been beaten on more though right?

Scarce? Yes. Beat on? Not all of them.

Eh i doubt beaten on more, but even if thats the case, any manual transmission can be beaten down on more than auto if you do it right and dont grind your gears.

Looks good for 12K. I have a TCM SD and I think it's a great color combo plus it has the dark interior like mine. I wish I could find a set of those wheels for sale to put back on mine.

Unfortunately there are not many stickshift for sale. The ones that we did find just had too many miles. She drove the automatic and really liked it. It's going to be our long trips car, so it will be nice to have an auto. If the car is good and we like it, we might end up getting a newer one in the future.
