Default C6 Resale Question

I know this has been asked before but I can't find the thread.

Is the resale on a C6 easier for an automatic or 6 speed transmissiion, or is there no difference?

Thanks for your advice.

The majority of vettes sold are automatics... so you would have a larger audience for the autos... but there are plenty that would want the manual also... it only takes one buyer...

When the right buyer finds you it won't matter because it'll be what they want.

Last time I looked at the Book, they deducted money for the automatic, even though it cost a bunch extra when new...

I don't think it really matters.

I think the Auto will sell better because then the wife (girlfriend) can also drive it and it can make a difference whether the guy get the C6 or another car.

Similar to what all have said previously - it really depends on what that single buyer is looking for. I HAD to have a manual when I purchased mine - that was actually my #1 criteria. Color was second.

According to Edmunds.com, the auto is worth more on the used market. My 06: Private Party: 32,378 with auto, 31,352 with manual. Auto is worth $1026.
