They maybe hard to find but there are fewer people looking for them or who could afford them. People who never learned to drive a stick will not be in the market for them.

People that are buying the Xs these day are in a different financial group. The Xs has dropped in price that kids working at McDonald are able to buy them. Most bank will not finance a car that is over 10 years old, especially to kids working at McDonald. So in order to buy an old car you need to do the immigrant payment plan, 100% down, no monthly payment.

Let him sit on the car. The fact that he has only one key is a signal to me that he is kinda cheap. If he's cheap with buying a spare key, he may had cheap out on maintaining the Xs.

Cars are like city buses, miss one, there's always another one right behind it.
