You are looking at $2500 to $3000. Just buy the manual.

You need:- manual ECU Trans/Clutch and spigot bearing Clutch cable Pedal Set Manual Tailshaft Abit of wiring with the reverse lights and cruise control cut-out A manual console or a trimmer to make the gear boot for an auto one

Ok I haggled the dealer down to 11 grand for the 5 speed!! 110,000k's, 2 body defects a scrape and a crack in the kit.. he reckons im looking $700 to fix that.
8 grand is still standing for the private sale of the auto, One owner, full service history, 116,000k's .. Im making a decision this week!! any advice!??! Should I go for what i REALLY want and get the manual or should i go for the absolute bargain price of 8 grand for that private sale! AHHH HELP is 3 grand extra worth paying just to get a manual over auto when in reality an auto is worth more isn't it !?!
