You better keep some money in the piggy bank that manual will need a clutch at some time even if its been changed already if you do a lot towing you will get about 18month to 2 years out it & they don't give any warning when they go . But on the bright side nice looking D3

Don't buy a manual coz clutches are to small for the job they go bang big time regular as clock work On D3 always go for an auto you wont regret it
