Its a matter of supply and demand, small cars with manual transmissions are not popular here in Texas and the manuals last a long time.
When i had a 1990 legacy with a blown final drive they were rare here in Texas (1996-7).
I purchased the Car in New Mexico where they were much more popular.
But the wrecker yards had them in stock and complained they couldn't sell them. So i got a low mileage one for $300 out of a 1992 locally just by calling around.
I agree you need to try and find one locally, with a warranty, shipping the thing back and forth if you have a problem doesn't make any sense to me.
