6-Speed Manual: 2006 Nissan Frontier SE Crew Cab
A brand new Nissan Frontier pickup will set you back $30k before taxes and fees (more if you start piling on options)…and it is a nice car, but you can’t get it with a 6-speed manual gearbox because the only transmission that Nissan offers is some 9-speed super flappy birds paddle thing…sounds like a recipe for just putting in auto and following traffic on your daily commute. But if you want to save a few bones and you don’t mind the horrible death-by-plastic interior of early 2000s Nissan…then take the dirt road around traffic and get something like this 2006 Nissan Frontier SE Crew Cab offered for $7900 in Phoenix, AZ via craigslist.

Clean looking rig, but seems rather pricey for 211k miles. I just recently bought a similar 1993 Ranger with 90k miles and the Ford 4.0L V6 for $5k.
Agreed. Super clean, but a steep for 200k+ miles.
Yeah…I mostly posted it because of the 6-speed manual and the crew cab. Didn’t know that was a thing in those 2005-10 Frontiers…but one with less miles would be preferred.
These are surprisingly comfortable, had one as a rental and came away impressed. That said stick shift trucks should always have a bench seat.
