Good news is (I think) you'll find autos are better to buy than sell.

Can't comment much more on this other than to say apart from the gearbox (and the engine, I believe, is in a slightly different state of tune to suit the box), usual MX5 rules of engagement will apply, i.e. with respect to rust, crash damage, hood etc.

Good luck in your search!

You will get a good auto for that money, no one wants them. I have one and although it is slow off the mark if you hold the gears its quick enough on the twisty stuff. The engines are tuned for torque and have lower compression pistons in them, which also makes them a good start for FI. Plan to turbo mine over the winter.

^^^What they said^^^

I had no trouble selling mine at all.
I wanted a manual untill i saw this auto and it was absolute split mint.

It`s also a little more gassy but don`t let it bother you!
