Been looking for a manual car of a specific make and model for a while. Common late model car, but not common in manual. Apart from on here and the dealers of that make, is there anywhere else worth looking?

Just want to know if there is some obvious place that I should be looking. I'm usually pretty good at searching for stuff.

Why would you not state the make/model here ? Surely someone might be able to assist you if you did.

Trademe is by far the most used advertising platform.
Facebook marketplace would be the 2nd most common.
Other platforms (autotrader.co.nz, Driven etc) are worth a look, but likely duplicate the above.
You could also search the auctions in japan via somebody like carwebs, but late model manuals are quite rare their.
If it is a high value, less than 2 year old car, you could search https://www.autotrader.co.uk/ and see if there was anything viable to import. Basically needs to be "VAT Qualified" for that to work.

The question has to be asked, Why does it have to be manual, why wont and auto do what you want? As others has said, please state make and model. It hard to help if we don't know what you want help with.

Hillman imp was the first ever hatchback, cheap to run, sound neat, like a sewing machine, I recomend one of those.

Corolla perhaps? Not a lot of late model manuals left unfortunately. (relatively speaking).
