The amount of previous owners does matter on a manual transmission. Everyone drives manual different .... some may ride the clutch, etc. I'd stick to 1 or 2 owners , and hope that it's a older person who owned it ( 40+ yrs old) if possible, it tends to be that older people take care of their cars , more so then younger. I'd never buy any used car from someone (anyone) under 30 yrs old. Yes, this is age discrimination at its finest.

Also, white tends to command more demand / dollars then your other colors ( no color discrimination or anything here, just facts).

I would love to see some stats showing white get's more money.

It has been my experience that many younger guys take way better care of their car. For many it is their first and it is their baby. Age has nothing to do with anything it is more the individual.

I agree with this.. Age has nothing to do with it.

I’m just worried it’s been in an unreported accident or a flood as I am not in that state and can’t go look at it. There’s no good frs or brzs out here in Phoenix.
