Any 456 owners here?

[CraigW]

Looking at the M cars..

Do they differ drastically from the earlier cars?

Also in the m cars the manuals seem to command a massive premium over the autos, are the autos super dull to drive?

lastly, anyone put child seats in back ever?> (7 years old and 2 year old)

thx,

Craig

One of the primary reasons that the auto's are currently worth less than the manuals is that if an auto goes pop (and a few have) then it's £20k'ish for a new box or £7k for a rebuild..........and the parts arent generaly available so there's not much choice in who rebuilds it.

But how many auto's have you heard of going pop?

The auto's are very strong and shouldnt cause a problem (as witnessed by my day long full bore standing starts at VMAX in a GTA )

The manual M's are quite rare which is why they comand a premium.
