I've found a white 93 240 coupe, that's going up for auction next week that I want to buy. Its a wrecker auction, so its either been abandoned or wrecked and I'll probably be able to stop by the wrecker lot later on this week to check for damage. But I was wondering if anyone can tell from the VIN # wether or not the car is manual or automatic? I've already ran a Carfax report and I know the car has had a rebuilt title since 09/01/93, but I'm looking for a project car anyway and from what I understand cars at these auctions are usually dirt cheap.

Oh the vin # is JN1MS34P4PW303166, thanks.

So you have a 1993, KA24DE equipped, S13 Coupe with Automatic belts, that was built in Kyushyu, Japan. Sorry, but nothing about the transmission.
