Default All things being equal ,,,

,,, the mileage, options and condition the same: would a 6 speed coupe, fetch more or less than an auto vert?

If the year is needed to offer an answer, then I'm referring specifically to a 50th AE model.

Thanks

Verts seem to pull a premium over coupes, so i would say less then.

Buyer specific, I wouldn't even consider a vert, or an auto, but to answer your question in more detail; I'd say the buyer for an anniversary edition will be an older buyer looking for a cruiser so an auto+vert would fetch more for that demographic.

less

verts always pull a premium over coupes

6spd coupe vs auto coupe, the 6spd will get more every day

6spd vert vs auto vert, the 6spd will usually get more as well, just not quite as certain. lot of the geriatric crew like auto verts

Just checked NADA, convert comes up $1500 higher, can't understand why. Almost double the amount of convertibles to coupes (7547 - 4085) and only 8590 6 speeds out of 35,469. Gonna have to check recent sales on e-bay. I know when I bought mine I had to settle for the automatic (couldn't find a 6 speed).

ebay will show the same thing. the z06 and vert close around 2,000 higher than a coupe

msrp of the z06 and vert was also substantially higher

100k mile 01 coupe will get 12

100k mile 01 z06 or vert will get 14 if the vert still has a nice top and doesn't need repairs, cars all have weird little quirks too, like with the z06, the 02+ cars always sell a minimum of $2000 over the 01

A coupe with headers, X pipe, catback exhaust, and coilovers should command more than a stock vert....the test drive will close the deal.

General rule of thumb

When the top goes down, the price goes up, regardless of transmission. YMMV.

Verts had a much higher base price over a coupe so it seems reasonable that the vert would have a higher asking price used than a coupe regardless of tranny.

Auto vert would get more for sure. Old guys love auto verts. That being said, I would never buy an auto or a vert and def not an auto vert.
