Members,
I would appreciate some opinions about a dilemma I'm faced with. I love stick-shifts and hear this car is so much fun to drive with a manual. I've been looking for manual and they usually have 90-120k miles for roughly $5k. No problem, right? Well, I have an opportunity to purchase an 06 XB with 40k original miles for $6k. (carfax confirmed). My conflict is that it is automatic. I've read numerous posts of XB owners regretting not buying a manual but 40k original miles is a hard factoid to ignore.....especially at that price. Sounds dumb to have this problem but "adulting" is hard.
Thanks.
