Default I'm New (from Calgary)

I was just wondering why the SRT-6 is only made in Automatic?
To me this doesnt make sense at all. Why would anyone want to have a 330 horsepower car that isn't manual transmission?
If this isn't true that the Srt-6 is only automatic transmission please prove me wrong, but I've been looking everywhere on the internet mostly on Autotrader.ca (I'm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada) by the way, and every single SRT-6 is Automatic. I've also looked elsewhere on the internet, Same thing.

The reason why i'm asking all this is I'm really interested in purchasing a Crossfire whether it be a SRT-6 or regular Coupe (not convertible, as I hate every single convertible car on the planet), thats just my opinion. But anyway. I would love to have and SRT-6 but only if it is a manual transmission.

I have a few other enquires actually.
There is a dealer near my place that has a Black 2005 Crossfire (which IS the color I want). They are asking $26,600 for it. Which in my opinion is wayyy over priced. I've checked the Canadian used car pricing guide online and it says it should be no more then $17,425 (adding 5% for being in Alberta, no idea why), which should make it about $18,296.25. So my question is how would I ever be able to talk down that much of a price at a dealership?
I understand that it is like new with only 19,000 kilometers on it. But asking almost $8,000 more then it is worth is totally insane if you ask me.
What other questions should I ask the dealership?
If anyone as any suggestions for me I would appreciate it.
I also found another one in Camrose Alberta which is Black, plus Black interior which would be my dream color scheme. It is a 2005 (they advertise it as a SRT-6 but clearly that is a mis print since it doesnt have the stationary wing at the back,nor the 15 spoke wheels. They are asking only $19,000. But it has 82,000 kilometers on it. So Shouldnt I be able to get this one for significantly cheaper then that?
Anyway, like I said I would appreciate anyones insight on these matters.
Thank you for your time.

CROSSFIRES ARE AMAZING LOOKING CARS, BY THE WAY.
GOOD JOB MERCEDES!!!
