I found that any 6MT was hard to find used. I came to the conclusion that if I was to buy a 6MT it would have to be new which was my original plan anyway. In the end I figured I'd save some cash and buy used which I'm glad I did. I paid barely any interest and it took no time to pay off.
The next car will be a 6MT though...

I agree.
I agree.
that knee problems are a non issue with this car.I think it's mainly due to alignment (mine)
I have much more room behind the steering wheel, so I can keep my knee joint straight.
Other cars I used to angle my leg to the left to clear the steering wheel with my knee.
...which put side pressure on the joint.

Finding the right car takes time and is a lot of work! Just be patient and sit tight. It's hard I know because buying a car can be real emotional.
I looked for 6 months before I finally got mine. I wanted a black-on-black "X" and was adamant about it. I had seen some but they weren't in pristine condition. I almost jumped on a dark blue sedan but I'm really glad I held out for what I wanted. As reward for my patience, my car came with Navi as an added bonus. I had given myself a deadline for picking up a used car and if I didn't find one by that date I was gonna march into a dealership and pick up a new '06 (they were going at a great price at the time with the new '07 coming out). Funny thing was my car became listed the very day before my deadline date and I ended up buying it immediately 'cause it was exactly what I wanted with low kms.
If you get some other colour instead you're gonna always stare at every IP that goes by --- don't torture yourself. Good luck with your search!

Don't get IP
Don't get it
Where are u located?
I've seen 3 IP's recently close to my work and where I live.
Before I bought the car I hardly saw it. Now I see it here and there, and i know it is not as common as the other colors but seeing another IP other than mine is too many
hahahaha
i just want exclusivity.
So yeah, don't get IP

find a "head hunter" they work off commission so they will find you
1 in no time.
I use to know a company in NYC that would find anything.
They had software to search over 600 newspapers
