i kno i shoulda jus bought the 6 speed to begin with but this dealership gave me an amazing price, and the only six speed i coupld get was IP on wheat. Now, I was about to take the white 6mt but then the wheat interior was killin me, esp. that nastyass brown dash.
So why does the amount that you put as a down payment matter as far as losing more/less on a trade?
Thanks for all the replies.

,but he still have to pay sale's tax and DMV fee again which is close to 10 percent here in Cali ...of course if dealer willing to offer him an "buyback" he might not have to pay sale's tax and DMV fees.

Dude, a 6speed is no reason to go from a fully loaded G with navi and everything to a stock manual. It's not that big of a difference....
If the auto seems slow, you can get a grounding kit to make the shifting crisper. And if you do see FI in your future...Automatics are better suited for that kind of power than Manuals are, Just ask Gurgen.

Very prudent advice.

I know someone did the same exact thing you did, and he took a loss of around $10k.
I think urs will be around there. don't even think about, that dealerships will give you cash back for the trade. when cars out of the door, u are taking a $4-5 k depreciation of the orginial value in you trading it in.

1) If you really have to have a 6MT coupe, try a private party sale first.. autotrader, eBay, whatever. When I went to the dealer to ask how much they would give me for my car (05 6mt with 2k miles), without even seeing it they told me to try to sell it on my own.
2) If you really have to have a standard, why not get a manual beater or something? Especially if it's your first manual. As much as I love a standard tranny, it's so nice to just sit back and cruise down the strip on weekends and not have to ride your clutch for an hour in and out of 1st. Think about it, you're buying the same exact car. In a couple of years, if that, it will get redesigned and you're going to want something else.
