Look at the auto being about a grand more you are paying for but then 7000km more mileage which detracts some of that. Not much though as that's only about a third of a year in average driving extra.
If your car was exactly the same as the other car and had the same exact mileage, they still would be making out in the deal. You probably know it's better to sell yourself but obviously
you must be in a position that trading it is faster maybe?

Probably owes money on it.
I'm in a similar boat, given my situation has changed (work gave me a truck that I daily, the FRS has become a toy that I drive 4 days per month, for maybe 200km, maybe a little more depending on if I go up to the cottage or just stick around in town.) and the reasons for buying an auto (100km commute and approximately half of that is stop and go traffic, and I have a persisting injury that makes stop and go not fun in a manual) aren't relevant anymore. I'm waiting out until my car is about 75% paid off (next august hopefully) and then it'll be getting traded for a manual. Is it a burning desire for me? Nah, not really. Is it a want? Definitely. Can I justify it? Hell no. So, all in all, it won't happen.
At the end of the day, not having a third pedal doesn't bother me. There's tons of arguments for both sides and its beating a dead horse.
To OP, I'd put some serious thought into whether or not it's worth it. Realistically, I'll get this car paid off, sell it and buy something a bit more... grown up and practical
