Is this car a secondary toy or is it your daily driver??

What kind of power expectations are you hoping for??

What type of driving are you planning on doing -> Straight line vs. carving back roads??

Any specific type of features/creature comforts that you are looking for??

You should get a nice 2007 Corolla and put that money into an IRA.

Why not open the possibilities by considering an auto? The future of a true sport transmission is in auto not MT. It's just more efficient and naturally quicker. Not knocking MT, I have one. For a car choice, I vote GTR (not sure if you'll find one easy at that price). Another is a used Cayman R.

i just don't find it fun or exciting to drive a auto... a manual just connects you more to the car in my opinion.

I have MT. I like it, little notchy but fun to figure out. The SRM rocks.

A dual clutch transmission though. Would be nice to have that, as long as it was well integrated.
