Driving an automatic does not automatically disqualify one as a MTC Member.

I appreciate your unwillingness to accept their nonsense. Granted, they're still getting a sale out of you, but it's the principle.

Your dealer should put a clause in the sales agreement that when your original order comes in, that you can trade the A/T in, with no penalty and a substantial discount on the M/T.

Nick, go buy the one (1) that was listed on here at the dealer. Fly there and drive it home! Or take a bus. Talk about an adventure!

I would find the one or closest to the one you wanted the furthest away from Michigan take a one-way plane ticket and road trip that sucker back home.

For shits and giggles I searched Cars.com for manual Rubicons in the country. There are quite a few listed, but there are two (2) problems. First, most of them have the generic computer generated pictures, so there's nothing to verify they are actually manuals. Second, half of the "manuals" listed with actual pictures of the vehicle are not manuals, but automatics. Always amazes me at how little attention to detail a dealer takes when listed these things. I'll tell you, if one (1) pops up with an option or two over/under what I am looking for, i'll be making the call and trip to pick it up.

I just found two (but they are white not black like he originally wants) took some time to find ones that are 'on the lot' and not 'in transit' or have a generic bullshit pic....

If it's on the dealer lot (or even some in transit with generic photos), they should list the VIN. Maybe even a link to the sticker. Enter the VIN to pull up the sticker or build sheet to verify MT (or any other build component):

But agree with the sentiment on here. Find one that you want and fly out there to get it and drive it home!

That will never happen.
