Many MT g35 for sale??

I seem to notice numerous 6sp mt g35s listed in this website's classifed section. Also, saw 3-4 mt g35s listed the last 10 days in a local internet site: craigslist in SF,Ca.

Are people unhappy with the manual trans? In proportion to the number of mt vs at models made, it seems to be a very hi percentage of used mt models for sale.

I would guess there are 2 possible reasons: 1. The seller bought the car hoping to flip it and make a quick buck; 2. The seller never drove a stick in his life but bought the MT at the advice of others and is having regrets.

This doesn't only happen on this website though, on the autotrader.ca, i think around 70% of the G35 coupes on sale are 6MT.

nothing wrong with MT.just the fact that G35 are sport cars.people drive sport car like stick.that's why AT outnumber by MT.if i have to guess,i say 3 to 1 ratio.so don't be surprise to see more MT for sale or sold...

Actually if you look at the Autos for sale in the Classifieds forum to the left, there are an unusually high number of coupes for sale. Some higher mileage some low, I'm thinking the low mileage ones are unhappy with their purchase and the higher mileage ones probably are wanting something with more performance.

Maybe they should have bought the AT

Re: Many MT g35 for sale??

On a serious note though, I noticed that on the autos for sale here on this site too. Maybe at some point I will trade with somebody that bough an MT and thinks made the wrong choice and would like an AT instead. If I had to do it all over again I would have bough the MT. No regreats though I still love my AT but ..... if it wasnt for the MM feature I would have allready made the plunge to switch to MT and loose a lot of $.

Re: Many MT g35 for sale??

"9 are coupes and only 3 are 6 MTs"
roughly 28% of gcoupe sold in MT...therefore, 3/9*100=33% it's about right AT:MT ratio...

"only have 8 coupes for sale and 2 are 6MTs"
again 2/8*100=25% it's about right ratio also...

"but if you add it together there are only 5 used 6MT coupes for sale of 10-million people"
5MT/17AT gives you 29% which about right as what gcoupe sold as new...

"This is completely contradictory to your post"
umm.. i don't think so... i'm suprised that MT gcoupe on sale that much in just one year of production... guess after 5years it will be more easier to find used MT... i was hoping Gcoupe take supra route but oh well...

Re: Many MT g35 for sale??

You've got to take into consideration who mainly reads these boards - car enthusiasts. There is likely to be a higher percentage of 6mt members on this board than in general so you're logically going to see more for sale here. I would think it would be easier to sell to another car enthusiast so I'd probably post mine for sale here too when the time comes.
