What you mean no warrenty? Acura's basic warrenty is 4yr/50k

Edit: ALSO.... do you feel comfortable buying a used MANUAL car....

You'll probably get 18K for you '01 so you'd be out 7K+...

Can you take the hit financially?

You need to look at it this way. THe 03 will cost you $31k when you add in the loss on selling your 01. 18k miles is a lot of miles too. You can buy new 03s with 0 miles for about $27-28.

I don't blame you, the 6 speed is an entirely different car than the automatic IMO, I love it.
