n000000000bish question

Just wondering, how common are 5 Speed V6's Camry's ? Here in Canada, they were never offered !! By chance of luck, I happend to get a US Spec car with A V6 Just wondering if they were more popular in the states.

In Europe, it's the contrary, automatic ones are the most difficult ones to find. On the other hand Camries are not a popular car at all.

Gen4.5's can be had with manual V6, albeit extremely hard to find. Believe me, I've tried

I had to specifically request a 5spd when I got my car (gen4.5). It wasn't a big deal at the time (they said they could get either a 4 or 6cyl), I just had to wait.

View I4 to V6 Swap's Photo Gallery
Gen 3 and gen 4 V6 are super rare. I found a rear ended gen 4 at the junk yard that ran well, and ended up being the donor for my gen 3. I have only seen 1 other V6 manual in my area. That happened to be a gen 4. I have only seen 1 gen 3 with a I4. Tap recycling in Rancho Cordova doesn't see too many manual camrys. I asked for parts, and they said it was super rare.

This past summer I had an opportunity to purchase a 2001 LE V6 5-speed. Problem was it had 60,000 miles (very high for a 2001 and a Hawaii car) and it's interior was shot to shit. It was extremely dirty, stink, and smelled of cigarettes. I simply had to think that if the owner didn't take care of the inside he/she didn't take car of anything else. They were asking $14,500. I waited a few weeks and a 2000 LE V6 in perfect condition, popped up with 30,000 miles and they were asking $13,900. Needless to say what I went with even though I REALLY wanted a 5-speed
