That's horrible.

Could I take the cash instead?

I'd rather have $15k for a manual than $25 for an automatic.

for sure I'll look for a DSG transmission like mitsubishi lancer ralliart, just don't know about the price tag of these, everyone I talked to who have dsg on those LIKE it pretty much and won't get a manual transmission back

Probably a 93-up Supra. Then I would use the leftover cash to convert to manual. Then I would sell the Supra and buy an FT-86.

25k if I use it as a down I'll use it on a GTR that's a good choice in cars I think, It only comes in Auto lol. and If I'm not allowed for down I wouldn't mind an Auto VW GTI MkVI. My choice are for if I can only use this money on cars 2010 and 2011 years

yeah come to think of it, that would be pretty clever. that would be my second choice (after less expensive paddle shifter)...then the rest would be nice easy payments
