I am a manual transmission person, i just prefer them to be honest.

the 240 has an automatic that i am not that fond of, it works fine, but i feel like i steer, not drive. if that makes sense to you, then you know what im talking about.

what are the merits of a manual transmission beyond the cost of a rebuild? the car has 135k on it so i think im safe for a while in that area, but i do like a manual....alot. i know itll get a mile or two extra for each gallon of fuel, but that isnt terribly important.

the car is completly manual and i like it that way! i'd like it to be honest-to-goodness a manual car, the auto is almost out of place in it! this leads to another question, then: how hard are early 123 240s with manual sunroofs and transmissions to locate? i'd like to have a manual sunroof instead of the power(troubles with every one ive seen!) mine doesnt even have a sunroof. but it does have working air conditioning=)

thanks in advance!
