Tips on obtaining a 6speed?
Wusup guys, I currently have a automatic ultramarine frs @ 4900 miles. I really want to switch to a manual transmission, just don't know how to make it happen. I currently owe about 10k left but will be paying it off in about 8 months. Tips? Thanks.

Well, at least you should have a good amount of positive equity to go towards your switch. How much equity? That all depends on how much effort you put into shopping your local dealers to acquire the absolute best bottom-line price (trade difference).
Research what your FR-S is realistically worth, and look into what kind of deals are being offered on a new FR-S with the six speed manual which you desire. All the best.

I wish you guys lived on the east coast, I want an automatic Ultramarine 6AT FR-S.
I have a 2013 6MT Ultramarine with 8900 miles and I think a 6AT would work better for me as a daily driver and track car. However, even if we were to swap cars, how would I carry my loan through the transaction? I still own close to book on the car because I bought it used from CarMax 3 months ago.

Good thing about this is that you don't have to worry about a dealer interfering with the transaction. GL.

keep the car and buy a used miata. that car is going to be cheaper than the hit you would take and you end up with a more fun car that doesnt have to try to do more than one thing well. its what i have done and its a great set of cars.

The hit is gonna be quite large. I would be happy with an AT or 6SP MT twin. Just keep the AT and enjoy it for what it is
