My dilemma… Help!

I love my IS, but ever since I’ve bought it, I’ve been missing a manual transmission. Now that the 2002 models are getting closer to home, I was planning on trading my 2001 for the manual. I know I will lose a lot of money, but that’s something I’ve already accepted.

Now, I have an opportunity to get a 97 Eclipse GS-T with 35k miles, 5-speed in excellent condition, for about $4k-$5k more than what I’d lose in a IS trade. But if I go through with Eclipse I will have two cars! What should I do?

I know GS-T is arguably the best production Eclipse they have ever made. It still has one year left of the turbo warranty. Does anybody have anything good (or bad) to say about that particular car?

Thanks.
