Which still makes manuals worth more

Which in the case of an AW11 is about 20% of it's value. Probably higher than most sports cars % wise, which seem to average about 10%. Just look at the popularity of manual GT-T Caldinas, Supras, Altezzas and the like where that 10% difference accounts for a few thousand dollars.

Though it's strange that people will/have to pay more for an auto from the factory

At least Toyota had the common sense to not make an auto version of the SW20 turbo :wink:

Not to be off topic, but from what I have seen auto cars arent easy to sell.
Especially auto sports cars, so it depends on whether you feel your AW11 is still a sports car with the slush box....

example

I have seen 2 Toyota Soarers for the bargain basement price of about $5500-$6500 (1 had slightly lower kms), however both auto twin turbo, average to high km's. However they still sat on a Park and Sell yard for like 3 weeks- 1 month.
A manual one will set you back about 16K these days? why? simply more fun/exciting/interesting to drive. Funny when the auto probibly cost more when it was new.
I love soarers and would have one tommorrow if they werent pretty much all auto.....

What other GOOD sports car with that much poke for 5.5K that is amazing to me!

(no considering fallin off the back of truck, alley way deals)

If you sell your AW11 I imagine it will be to someone who isnt really interesting in the performance factor ( maybe its pretty or economical! ) or someone that will convert it the manual anyway....

Jasmine did a 17.2 or something in her auto AW11, then when she got her manual it did a 16.5...so they're not so good for straight line duties...might be ok in the twisties, but I dont think I'd like to try it...would hate to have it kick down leaving a corner

Its already happened, thank god there were no cars on the otherside of the road as i understeered towards the curb.. didnt hit it though...

just about..

Theres everything you need for a turbo conversion bar a few things, and can be all yours for a grand. Then you have the motor and a parts car
