Pricing a F355, manual or F1

[Andyandyhall]

Does anyone have any ideas how to price the different gearbox cars give similar condition spec, mileage, etc.

When new the F1 box was new it was quite a premium, does that still hold or do people now prefer a reliable manual than the first paddle shift semi auto?

Thanks guys, I've heard the manual is likely cause less problems and with a manual transmission no longer available in many sports cars I guess its the preferred option even though it was a cheaper spec when new.
I'll watch the weekend auction with interest...

It doesn't say online but I think those figures are including the buyers premiums. I watched online and don't remember the hammer prices being that high (please do say so if you know otherwise!)

The sale prices include the buyers premium at 12.5% but if you aren't in the trade you would pay VAT on the buyers premium, so a 15% rate.
