$6,700 Blue RHD '93 FD3S - looks good, but automatic?

This looks perfect for me, but the seller seems to have neglected mentioning the transmission - the low mileage and price make me a little suspicious.

It could very easily have legitimate kilometres since it's a RHD import. The auctions I recently viewed online commonly featured 1992 cars with 70000-120000km.
It has no boost guage to check boost and yet the owner has installed a midpipe, intake, and exhaust. Automatics are generally less beat on but a lot more troublesome to resell\modify.

How much would it cost ($ / aggravation) to switch an automatic to a manual transmission?

A Lot -
cheaper to go look for a Manual if thats what you want. I would be careful with the motor in this one - the km's are getting to the point where you are in rebuild territory - which is likely the case at the price they are asking.

Definitely. Somebody else might get a nice ride, though.
