Resale problems with Manual

jaytirbhaw

honestly I think manuals will have more resale value than autos for a sports car like the Z.

Your right..........One of the car rags, I think last year talked about used 370z and said they manual's had better resale than the automatics.

Found it..........

"It’s an article of faith among the car-smart that opting for an automatic pays dividends later with easier salability and better resale value. In the Z’s case, not so much. In four of the five model years, the average dealer asking prices are higher for examples with the clutch pedal."

manuals will always be more desirable over an auto.

i recently upgraded to an 09 370Z from an 07 350Z. the 07 Z was a manual and was sold by the dealership less than a week after it was listed for sale, whereas the 09 Z is an auto and i was eyeing for about a month before i decided to buy.

if you trying selling to a dealer or trading it in, yes, you will take a couple thousand hit in value because its a manual. private party sales shouldn't be affected.

really? i guess it's dependent on the dealership. i was able to add onto my resale value at the fact that my 07 Z was a manual and with the upgraded HR engine.

Bought my 6 speed when I was 18 (3 years ago) and had never driven a manual before and learned on it. There is still hope in the younglings! I can't speak for anyone younger than me though...
