08-09 EX-L Manual Transmission?

Hey I'm new here but, I figured maybe some of you who have searched for the new 08-09 Civics may have a bit more experience or knowlege on this....I'm looking for an EX-L with a manual transmission. It seems as though it is very uncommon to find an EX-L with a manual. Has anyone else noticed the same thing or is it just the dealers I have been talking to? Thanks!

I live in LA and bought an 08 EXL with no trouble, but I was told at trade in time that it's a deal killer.

According to the dealer, I traded in a 02 EX for my 08 w/manual tran. nobody wants them. there harder for the dealer to get rid of. My 02 was a cream puff. a 9 out of 10

Your dealer should be able to check their entire inventory for all the stores they own and then be able to transport the vehicle to you but of course there's transportation fee's and what not. I think is something like 500$ for it.

Hondas generally have one of the best re-turn values. You should sell your car to people and you might get a better deal. Also find out the value of your car on Kelly's Blue book as it's almost the industry standard. How much did you end up getting for it?
