I agree with the others who have stated a manual might be easier to sell and you may even get more for it. I have sold a number of cars privately and the buyers always tell me that they were really interested in my car due to the manual. Of course once they come to see it, the low mileage and condition probably helped them decide. I recently sold my C6 Corvette, and most of those cars are autos and the buyers tend to fit the automatic demographic. It took me two days and I got within a few hundred of my asking price. The hardest time I ever hard selling a car was an automatic Toyota Corolla that I used as a winter car one season in MA. The reason was it was in just average condition. While there are a lot of buyers for Toyotas, there are also always a lot for sale, so there is a lot of competition. A low production manual in a sea of automatics is one way to stand out.
