Anybody up for a Car Swap?

Well..i am not sure if i would get any response...but..I will put it up anyway.

I got myself a Silver 2000 Protege LX(ES) with 1.8 engine, A/C, powered everything, spoiler, tint, Panasonic MP3 headunit and Automatic tranny.
Car runs exceptionally, very smooth, no mechanical problems, has 113k kms.
Basically all stock except of the audio unit, and 14-inch steel wheels with hub cabs. Oh yeah, and i put in NGK iridium plugs just a month ago.
Very clean interior and i am a non smoker. Previous guy wasn't a smoker either I think.
On the outside, the rear bumper is little messy, and front bumper has some scratches.
It was originally a leased car on 4 year term and I bought it from a used car dealer in June. (so basically the owner leased it on 2000, returned it to mazda this year, they sold it to a dealer, who sold it to me.)

I was wondering if anyone with same car with MT would be willing to exchange his with mine. I don't want to increase my insurance so I want Silver 2000 1.8 LX with powered everything and A/C, with spoiler, but manual.

You can swap out any part you want, wheels, bumpers, hood, whatever.
for example, my rear bumper is little messy, so you can swap the bumper with yours if it's cleaner. Or if you have alloy wheels and you want to keep them, it's good too. As long as the mechanic is perfect and interior clean, I willl be happy.

Here are two pics of my car. It's taken in June but still basically same.
I got clear corners right now but I want to keep them.

So i want a pretty much same car with manual tranny.
I know it will be difficult to find an exact match who is actually willing to do this, but nontheless I am giving it a shot. If you know of anyone who might be interested, tell them about me.

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention that my car has remote key locks and starter.
Makes the car a lot more convenient.
It would be nice if the exchange car would have remote starters too, but I am willing to give it up if it's not there.

Nah..it will be too much hassle anyway..
i have to sell the car, try to get the best price which will be very hard, and then try to find a same car, rearrange my insurances, and so on..

Is it possible if any used car dealer will be willing to exchange my car?
I mean..auto sells for more, so maybe i might find a chance there..but dealers are stealers..so hmm..
 
In terms of hassle, a direct swap would still be the same. Because cars are identified by serial number, both the SAAQ and your insurance company would consider it a new purchase and sale. As for the SAAQ, I would even be surprised if they didn't charge you taxes on the one you're getting in the swap seeing as they see no problem with charging taxes over and over again each time a car is sold.
