If you don't want an auto, don't get an auto. Pretty simple. While that seems like a good price if in decent shape and good options, it doesn't matter when you will just want to turn it around to get a mn6.

I agree - if you really don't want an auto tranny, keep looking. You probably won't be happy. Price is not bad if the car has a lot of options and is in very good shape.
One thing you can do is at least drive the car - you may be surprised at how well it performs even with the auto tranny - especially if it has the performance gears in it.

You never know, you might change your mind about the A4 after you drive it. Even if you don't you'll at least have a frame of reference for other cars & test drives.
