this one is really hard to tell because of the flare. I'm 60% sure it's a 5speed but it could be confirmation bias

Ahhh! what a bummer. If I had to bet $5 I'd say I recognize the spherical shape of the factory 5speed shift knob.....

But if I had to bet the price of the car buying sight unseen and possibly get an automatic when I wanted a manual... not that sure!

I think it's a 5speed as well. You can kind of make out the leather boot on the shifter too. The automatics didn't get leather boots till the 09-10 model years.

Agree with PG5's assessment with the leather boot. Another thing that makes me lean toward manual is the fact that the handbrake is engaged. Just my 2 cents

I checked the Copart Sales Data Sheet (https://www.copart.com/downloadSalesData/), It lists the car as a 5speed as well. Altho I've found that sheet to not be 100% accurate when I was searching for my donor.

I am 99.9% sure that is a manual.

The automatics would not be angled back like that. They have straight shift knob shafts and are larger.

Back when I was looking for a donor I went ahead and bought like 10 vin searches for $10. It shows all the options based on vin and was pretty accurate.

2008 and earlier automatics don't have a boot around the shifter and instead have a chrome cover around the shaft.

The car on Copart definitely looks like it has a boot and doesn't have any chrome visible. I'm pretty sure it is a manual car.

I see the car sold, did you end up getting it?
