^^^ naah, we're not that mean (some of us, that is).

Stick w/ the auto bro. It's just isn't worth it to switch (yet). You're car's still too "new" for a trade-in. Reason being, you will lose money for sure for lost value. Plus, the dealer will just low-ball you. Best bet is sell private.

Then again, is you car fully paid yet??? If not, it just makes it more less worthwhile to switch.

if your planning to trade for a manual..you might as well get a used G35, something a lot better than the tC. Otherwise dont waste your time and money getting the same car over again.

^^^Good to know. Like what the others have said, if you have the money, yeah go switch. Why not? But you might want to look into better cars like a used G35, S2000, etc.

Lets see... It's a rebuilt 07 with 8500 miles on it, eh? What happened to this car and how long was it sitting waiting to be fixed?!

Not to be rude, but there is no way I'd make a trade like that...

I bought the car with the rebuilt title.
Its front end was hit, air bags did not deploy...

I traded my auto tc in for a stick but it only actually cost me like $1800 or something. I wouldn't bother if it's going to cost any more than that.

Your car is probably worth like 10 tops. Thats what i'd say anyway, since the title issue. Sell it for as much as you can get for it and buy whatever you want.

I've seen stick tc's go for like 14-15. I've also seen 6spd G35's for mid 20s, which is what i'd go for.

Sad part is a lot of states now have a monitary value on a damage repair that makes the car only get a salvage title........Washington tried to set the limit to liek $1400 or something to get a salvage title......it was not approved,thank God.

If it is paid off and you are able to afford it trade it in and get a differant car......
