They do have a deductible every time a ticking time bomb goes. Would not mind trying one of these shady extended powertrain warranties for research purposes.

I wouldn't be surprised could have been a father before getting my drivers license. Obviously we are a bit more civilized now but theoretically this would make a great college graduation gift for one's kid.

It costs lest then the price of an SMG pump to do a proper manual conversion.
It is the same transmission. In fact the transmission is likely in better shape than any 6MT because there has been no possibility of misshifts.

Buy it and if you have SMG problems replace do the conversion and replace the clutch. you will be laughing to the bank, even if you sell the car down the line.

Ohh I must've misread. The link posted is what I was referring to. Not sure about the Vancouver one. My bad !
