Buying a mustang - Manual or Auto?

(1/2) > >>

stuart1:
Hey all, I'm looking to buy my first Mustang, so forgive my newby questions.

I'm keen on a manual, but there's more autos out there. Which has the better resale value? (likely buying a left hand drive)

Also, what's the procedure to get a road worthy certificate in NSW?

Many thanks,
S.

Typically a 4-spd manual trans car is about 10% greater value than a similar 3-spd auto car...

From long experience with LHD and RHD, before buying carefully evaluate how it is to be used - eg every day or weekend cruiser, busy suburban or less congested roads, if LHD would partner be OK with no controls their side ?. Then go with what you really want tempered with what's practical for your situation. With resale value, manual or auto usually appreciates over time at a similar rate. RWC for classics in NSW can have expensive pitfalls. Before buying, talk over your preferred choice with a local RWC tester who will know the ropes.

GEOFF289:
No idea about resale values but for fun factor and noticability, left hook and three pedals is the way to go.

If it's a V8 it has to be a manual!
