I don't want to sell it, because I know how rare these cars are now and the fact that it has some nice mods on it already, I'd hate to let it go. But for a daily driver in traffic, I need an auto.

My question is, should I sell it, or should I keep it and save up for a 90's automatic, like an Infiniti Q45 or G20 or I30, maybe even a sentra or an auto 4th gen! Also, how much would you suspect that I'd be able to get for it considering it's in pretty good shape?

Thanks in advance for any feedback. :)

For me, it would all depend on the condition of the car and of coarse the amount of money that I can get for it if I'd sell it. If I can find a good buyer, I'd get rid of it and get something I can actually use. I don't like automatics but they're great in stop and go traffic.

you must not be a 5spd type of driver, bumper to bumper traffic, thats gonna happen regardless. But like nsnrider said if you don't like it sell it and get something you like. Or just swap a auto tranny check a local junkyard or car-part. A buddy of mine got a LSD auto trans from local junkyard for like $150

you can always sell the mods and put it back to stock than sell it if you feel you that way about selling it to someone who may not car about that stuff or even notice what its purpose is for.

I'd never swap an auto in, or put it back to stock, as the labor costs of doing so would probably make me lose money in the process. The car is good the way it is, it's just a conflict with the fact that I want to sell it due to traffic, but don't want to sell it because I doubt I'll find another 5 speed 4th gen with a MEVI already installed again.
