beginning add says its a 5-speed so i am thinking beta2 motor, 06 w/ 32k, not a bad buy.
then you go furthur into the ad and its listed as a v6 (so scrap the idea about a 5-speed) and stated that it is a autotragic.
furthur into the pics you see in the end it is a six speed.
i think this company needs a clue or a better person to place ads on Ebay, lmao.

oh so they did come with a 5-speed w/ the v6 motor, never knew that. all the gk's i have ever seen with the 2.7's and manual were 6 speeds, hmmm.
i thought the 5 speed was only with the beta motor, but still.

Yeah, the V6 GK did come with a 5 speed also. The quick way to tell is the 6 speed has the piece below the shift knob that you have to pull up to shift into reverse.
I came very close recently to getting a 5spd Tib. However, the idiot dealer was VERY proud of it and sure it was going to sell very quickly. They refused to move on price, i laughed at them. The car was still sitting there the last time I looked, but that was about a month ago. (3 months sitting at that point.. no buyers yet)
I like the 5spd over the 6spd. Ive been able to drive them literally back to back because my best friend had one of each. In the 1/4 with him driving them both stock the 6spd managed .10 seconds faster at the track.

I had the same thing happen just before I bought the '07 Accent about 4 years ago. They refused to budge on the price of an '06 SE (this is in May of '07 and I was offering 20 tax/tag/out the door), and it sat on the lot until it was too old to be sold as "new" and went to the used lot, only to be sold months later under 15k.

6sp are always better in terms of engine conservation (lower rpm) and fuel efficiency when the 6th gear is used such as on long trips, which is why I would favor it.
