Honestly if it’s in pristine condition the tranny won’t matter to the potential buyer. I have bought both types off that website in the past 7 months and both have their positives and negatives. 90% of the people who bash the auto have NEVER driven one. The sequential shift on the auto works flawlessly and is MUCH easier in traffic….which most of us have to deal with on a daily basis.
the fact it’s a GT with those miles will sell the vehicle. The GT has so much more to offer.

Like I said, have nothing against ATs at all. Just the perception by a larger percentage of buyers prefer manual. I had an AT 33 that I flipped. Like I said, nothing wrong with it.
And, it's not an HR engine, so there's that. (Not that I believe the koolaid drinkers that if you don't have an HR, you ain't s**t.)
My 2cents is that it wont bring what the owner thinks it’s worth …
I think people look down on the RevUp as the least reliable and least desirable of the three engines.
My daily driver is an automatic (the pickup) and the q40 is a 7at with paddles and it is not the same as my 6mt DE z …
The ideal audience of this vehicle is guys in their 40s / 50s / 60s and I think most of these potential buyers have moved on to other platforms … if they have tons of money they are already in a corvette, an MB, or an exotic… if they are middle of the road they are looking at the 400z, the supra, or a lux sedan, and if they dont have money than they wont make the reserve.
No 20 to 30year old is going to pay a premium for a impecable 2006 350z rev up AT with some bolt ons and no tune …
It will hit at least around 20k. There is a Z for everyone and buyers on BAT are very diverse. I know I’ve purchased 2 myself and my business partner many many more. You’d be surprised what some of the rides go for. A z32 went for 130k this week…….insane.

Affectionately called "the BaT tax".
I bought a car on BaT.... back when there were still deals to be had.
I saw that 32... had insanely low miles but $135k?? Not.... there's a Stillen SMZ for sale now.... at $80k.
BaT makes me really wish I'd kept my collectibles. Ha!

yeah that smz is going to pull 100k easy. I remember when they came out. A specimen to be had. Wish I had held on to my two garage queen z32s…..and mr2s….and 240z….and the list goes on…

Just FYI, the Stillen SMZ sold $81k yesterday. Only 36k miles and clean. $54k (!) less than the stock ultra low mile 32 that sold for $135k! Crazy. That one - IMO - was not worth it. But what people pay is up to them I guess.
I was curious about the $135K Z32 that sold and it looked to me like this was definitely an outlier. It appeared to be a bidding war between two collectors at the end. The winner needed it to complete his collection of other Japanese RED sports cars to go with his red NSX, red RX-7, and red 280ZX. Funny... he said he wasn't a big fan of the Supra.

OK, not a 33 but this one is very interesting (and kinda crazy, IMO).... Crazy as in ONLY 157 miles.
No typo, that. Not 1570, not 157k, plain ol' 157. Essentially NEW with driving from the port to the dealership for a prep and a trip home. Maybe one trip to Safeway. Definitely the lowest mileage Z I've seen for sale on BaT!!
From Post #115, above. This GT sold for $17,000. For a clean car with only 32k miles, I think that's A pretty decent price. Too bad not a year newer though.
