Bingo.

I'm 72 years old and never had an automatic transmission in my cars or trucks.

I bought my current truck after watching it for over a year online drop in price by almost $10,000.

I finally drove across Phoenix to the dealership to see it and find out why it hadn't sold and the price had dropped so far.

The salesman told me a lot of people were interested until they found out it was a stick shift. Nobody knows how to drive a standard transmission nowadays he said.

I negotiated the price down another $2,000 and drove home with it. A $20,000 truck for only $9800. A steal.

All because it was a stick shift. Sweet.

That is how I bought my daughter's car post graduation before she headed off to the patch. Her older vehicle would not have made it from PA to TX. She thanks me to this day. No one barrows her car. Even in the patch, they would climb inside and pop back out again.

It was a loaded Ford Fusion. 6K under book.
