need to get 2k2or2k3 but stuck with 2k1
i have about 18,000 left to pay off my 2k1 auto with 31k miles on it, now the issue is i want a 2k2 or 2k3 6 speed, i dont care what year as long as its a 3.5L 5th gen,im not liking my sluggish automatic, should i sell my car now and if so for how much?? or should i do a trade in?? i also hear its very rare to find 6 speeds. Im sure someone else on the org have considered doing this so opinions would be helpful

I've been pondering the same thing. I have a 2K1 auto with 18K miles, fully paid off and want a 6 speed. You are better off selling the car privately then being offered $12-14K by the dealer. Check KBB and edmunds.com to find the value of your car. The other problem you'll run into is locating a 6 speed in your area.
I decided to stick with this car and save up for an M3, my dream car.

offer him 20k or less for it. Hes had it on here for probably 4 months or more when I started looking for mine. He has recently included the words MUST SELL in the desciption

i have a 2k and i am doing the same research now...your best bet is to find a wholesaler, or a friend that goes to auctions and pick one up...2k2 sticks aren't that hard to find...the last 3 wks at manhiem(sp) pa, they have had several ea. wk. i am turning in my lease in 2months, so i am being specific with what i am looking for. the two guys i know both told me that in a couple weeks they should be able to find exactly what i am lookin for. by the way, auction price is between 14,900, and 19,500. that is up here in the NE. may be different down south. don't give up hope.
