trade auto for stick

aiight here's the scenario...i got a 97' gxe with 58000 miles on it and i really want a stick after i read the post by maximabrian. how much do you think i can get for my car and will i be able to get a 95, 96 or even a 97 stick give or take a few bills

Well it's up to you, but there are advantages of the auto. If you're going to start heavily modding than the stick is the way to go. However, the auto is a lot nicer for cruising high speed on the WY (RPMs are much lower), obviously nicer in traffic.

I personally prefer the 5spd all around though.
