might be getting SI! but i got a Q

hey im going down to look at an SI for sale about an hour away next week. its only $12,200, its a 99' with only 35K on it!!! the color is black too which i like, however im not sure if its a 5-speed or an auto. if it is an automatic do you recomend me still getting it? i live in NH and i dont usually see that many SI's for sale anyways. its like the second one ive come across in awhile (thats for sale). also, if i gave up this car it would most likely get like an EX. the only mods i would do would be like intake and exhuast so im not sure what to do. i tihnk i might get the SI even if its an automatic cuz it will be alot faster then a EX, and ill be able to add the same mods to the SI as and EX. what do you think?

all SI's are manual

well thats good to know, thanks!

definately get it :)
