i've got a 96 manual as well and yes they are not many here in north america and am assuming you're in canada with the KM. i'd be fairly hesitant to purchase a used manual just because i don't know how the other person drove it. gears could be shot, clutch gone etc. if you've taken it for a test drive and clutch and gears seems to be fine then go for it. keep in mind when doing any gearbox work it'll cost you $$$$ had a shaft break in my gear box and every place i took it too told me it needed to be replaced. shopped around and finally found a used one for ... ready.. a used gearbox... $3000 CDN was still cheaper than buying a new one off the dealer, getting one shipped up from the states.
with a 97 and only having 92,000 seems great but also could have been sitting around for a long time so the gaskets could have be dried out or craked...
I personally like the D1's aswell, the CDL is a BIG plus but the rotoflex is a minus but that can be changed fairly easily
Not trying to scare you but things you should look out for.
take care
