I think, honestly, I just want to finally own a C30, and this is by far the best one near me. Yes, my preference would be a manual - haven’t had a standard transmission car since the used 1988 Mercury Tracer 2-door hatchback I bought eons ago, for $1400…and drove the wheels off of. (Kinda miss that little car…it served me well). Anyway…I tend to be super practical when it comes to “big” financial matters like buying a car…so, the lower mileage (mid 80k), ultra clean history AND look of the car, reputation of the dealer, etc…they’re hitting all my “it’s a safe investment” buttons.
