the 5-spd cars are kinda rare, but they are out there. The dealer looked for almost 2 weeks to find my car when it was new. 99 EX coupe, 5-spd, leather, and I only gave him 2 color options.

if you are hell bent on a used car in a particular trim level, and color with a 5spd, you'll have a tough time finding them. any car. something like 75% of cars on the road are autos.

keep looking, it's out there.....

I got 99 Ex sedan with 5 speed. I live in Michigan where it is even rarer due to the fact this is domestic heaven here.

98+ LX's are vtec. <98 lx = non-vtec.

You should check out http://www.latimes.com and scan the classifieds. I don't imagine many cars up there in L.E. At least roll down to San Bernadino.

If your going used, why not go for a EX? The price differential is almost non-existant if you find the right one.
