Uh..175k mile car with no history. Your purchase price is in this thread I'm pretty sure as well. Good buy on the copart auction...I guess nothing was wrong with it.

Were you expecting $50k for a nearly 200k mile car? Get out of here.

You bought it for $6,500, put a under grand in maintenance, and flip for more than double what you paid. What the hell are you complaining about?

This thread has turned into a flippers paradise over the past year or two. What a shame.

Exaccctttlllyyyt! I’ve been looking for months and i swear every car i found is a flipper. No one that knows squat about the cars because they owned them for a month and are trying to flip them. It’s been impossible.

Coming from the person who thought a 2009 E91 sport 6 spd with 86k was only worth 10k, had no interest in any work done on the car, seeing any pictures or entering into any sort of conversation.

Too many 'car hipsters' salivating over spec/color transmission has led to infestation of parasitical traders looking to turn quick money on what is an enthusiast car.

I'm curious what it would cost to convert this automatic to manual. Thoughts?

Cost about 3500 in parts to do it correctly.

I saw pictures of your car and the maintenance you told me about. I understood what you would like for your car, it’s a great car, low miles, nice options. I’m looking to spend around there that’s why i offered it. Didn’t mean to offend you brother

Yeah. Or about $6K for a shop to do it,... in the Atlanta area.

PasionM estimated about $5k parts and labor to complete the swap. If you win the auction, I'll drop it off at his shop so he can get started for you

Thanks, everyone. Reasonable cost given the difference in prices today between manuals and automatics. Any technical challenges or other risks I should consider before pursuing the auto to manual swap?
