Having a change of heart...

Hey all,
You guys are gonna think I'm retarded but kind of a hypothetical question...if I were to want to get a manual now (currently have a 5AT) would it even be possible? How would it even work? I mean I obviously know I'll lose some money but the cars only got 400 miles on it.
I mean I'm just curious...you know

I love my 5AT... Drive Sport and Paddle Shifters rock. If I didn't sit in stop and go traffic everyday, I would have gotten 6MT.

well i figured i would get an auto because my parents dont drive manual and I wanted them to be able to drive it, especially because my dad is a doc and if he were to drive the car and take calls it'd be tough on him. now I realized that they don't drive it all that much so i was just reconsidering.

Well at least that was very nice of you to be considerate. Check for the classified section on the forum, sometimes people post to sell their cars.

Trade the car in while the miles are still low, you will still take a hit, but shouldnt be too bad.
