ok so i miss my celi and im looking to buy another one heres the problem, ive found 3 great ones already all 3 hatch (no coupe ='[ ) but each one has a problem.

1995 white hatch gt

exterior 4/5

interior 5/5

problem:
clutch is bad , you can tell its not fully gripping and the engine has a knocking sound

$3000

1996 white hatch gt

exterior 4/5

interior 4/5

problem: NASTY 3rd gear grind , i figure im gonna have to replace something and its gonna be expensive. syncro or maybe even worse the whole tran

$4500

1997 black hatch (not sure if its gt or st it didnt have a badge )

exterior 5/5

interior 5/5

problem : only problem i have with it so far is that its automatic , i havent driven it yet.

$1185






i want the celi as a daily for now but in the future (hopefully near future ) a 3sgte swap will be in order. im kinda leaning towards the auto one but is it safe and reliable to convert to manual from auto ? what do you guys think i should do? buy one of there or keep searching

I saw a 96 GT Coupe, (but it's an auto) w/94k miles on it on craigslist portland yesterday, here's the link if you're interested. They're asking $4900 but I doubt it'll sell for that, you could wait it out and if it's still around lowball the seller and see if they'll ship it. (Oh, and it's white too)
