Secondly, as my parents are helping me pay for this car, they would prefer for me to have an automatic transmission to avoid any potential problems on such a high priced car for my age.

I would private sell it. Any running car is worth $1000-$1500 on the open market.
Reminds me of the time I traded a 1999 Chevy Astro with 250,000+ miles in on a (slightly used/new) one. The '99 looked OK outside, but the inside had the Arabian tent saggy look going, and the upholstery looked like it had been through 10 years of car seats, baseball and hockey teams (because it had). The dealer said "We'll give you $1,750 in trade". I laughed and said I would pretend I believed he was giving it to me as a trade in value if it made him feel better.
