Sorry to hear about your Olds. Whatever you get, I highly suggest getting a manual if you’re into cars and want to learn. Since you’ll be buying an older car with some wear, beating the tranny as you’re learning won’t be a big deal. Not sure where you’re located, but I did a quick search of AT and these are some of the highlights in my area: [_86 Porsche 928 5 spd, $5k_](http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=262554994&dealer_id=581737&car_year=1986&rdm=1247971531213&num_records=25&systime=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=1981&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=used&distance=25&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&showZipError=n&first_record=51&make=&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=12180&advanced=&end_year=2007&pager.offset=50&doors=&transmission=&max_price=5500&cardist=11&standard=false&rdpage=thumb) [_98 Civic LX 5-spd, $4.2k_](http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=262718748&dealer_id=100023380&car_year=1998&rdm=1247971531213&num_records=25&systime=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=1981&engine=&keywordsrep=&keywordsfyc=&certified=&fuel=&body_code=0&awsp=false&search_type=used&distance=25&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&showZipError=n&first_record=126&make=&color=&keywords_display=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=12180&advanced=&end_year=2007&pager.offset=125&transmission=&doors=&max_price=5500&cardist=1&standard=false&rdpage=thumb) [_97 Eclipse Spyder 5-spd, $5k_](http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=265058996&dealer_id=622892&car_year=1997&rdm=1247971531213&num_records=25&systime=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=1981&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=used&distance=25&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&showZipError=n&first_record=51&make=&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=12180&advanced=&end_year=2007&pager.offset=50&doors=&transmission=&max_price=5500&cardist=7&standard=false) Let us know what you pick up and if you need help learning stick!
