Resale problems with Manual

yah if one bought a boring sedan or stationwagon with MT, chances are you will have a hard time selling it privately.

if you bought a car guy's car in MT, you probably will not have an issue with selling MT.

Gotta love the manual fanboy support.

More ATs are sold than MTs. Playing Vegas numbers, you have a better chance of reselling and getting more for an AT over a MT.

at least for me, i have a choice AT or MT, not like some of you lame car guy wannabies who can only drive AT's.

its not so much the car or the tranny, it's the person claiming to be some car fanatic that cant drive MT's. like really drive MT's not just a to b.

The lack of a third pedal is a deal breaker for me. I went the SMG route with a BMW. Within a couple years I traded it for stick.

I started driving manuals when I was very young and have been hooked every since. I'm quite older now and got into luxury autos. But still had the urge of wanting a stick again. So I bought the Z. Of course, the Z is not my DD; the Lexus is.

I had a Lexus GS350 F-Sport with paddle shifters for a few days. I purposely tried using the paddle shifters but never could get the hang of it. To me, it took a lot more thinking to get the up shifts and down shifts right. As opposed to shifting being second nature in my manual Z...almost no thinking involved.

I do have a choice. I have an AT Z and a MT MX-5.
