I'm not sure if i'm going to keep my 6th gen or sell it but I am going to buy a 7th gen. The one i'm looking at is carbon blue (looks black). Its a 2001 GTS auto/manual. Sorry, what ever you say im not going to get a manual. leather-sunroof-side bags-alloys-60k mi. I have it on hold right now. Price is 12399 from dealership. The 6th gen I have needs work and is too old and weak. May keep it around for the hell of it or may post it to sell on here. Any comments? What do you think of carbon blue/near black color? Any suggestions on what to mod?

well, i think arizona doesn't know how to drive a stick...

i could understand why people wouldn't want to buy a nice vehicle like that if they didn't know how to drive stick, but, he(she?) would have much more fun with the 6 speed.

i've heard that the 6 speed GT-S's aren't the easiest thing to learn on. however, once you get past that learning curve, it would be a much more enjoyable experience in comparison to the auto.

it's really up to preference at this point, i say go for the 6 speed, but if arizona chooses to go for the auto, it's still a fun car either way.

6 speed GT-S's with low mileage are extremely rare to find anyway, i've looked all over illinois/surrounding states and i've only maybe found a handful in a few years. the 2000 models are the best to get, because in 2001+ they lowered the redline, and in 2003 they changed it to a drive by wire system.

They lowered the redline in 2002. The 00' and 01' models both have the higher redline.
