Forget book values, these are rare cars and that purchase price will soon be forgotten once you start driving. One last point - maintenance and ALL fluid changes (oil, coolant, trans., diff. ) is critical. "Lifetime fill" as any mechanic knows is a flat out lie.
Im more focused on a 6peed then I am with the other add ons. Suspension, seats, and other things are replaced and upgradable. An auto to manual swap is to much money and time to worry about for me! (I've done the research...)
I wish I had the same outlook.. I would have to undo all the mods and trinkets I added to my auto before selling to get a manual and that's not happening
