Thinking of selling my 2012 6MT

What's the market like for these, hard to sell, anyone searching? It's a silver 2012 Special Edition 6MT with 65K miles. Koni yellows with Prokit springs, adjustible rear links, 17" STi BBSs with 235/45 RE970s, stock otherwise. Not needing to sell right away, but kind of itching for a wagon or at least a hatch.

It's a very niche market, even smaller now since the TSX was killed off. Not to mentioned modified cars in itself are hard to sell off.

My 09 with 64k never sold after 4 mo's, even after returning it back to stock. Not too many folks out there care for a 6spd manual sedan. Ended up trading it in at a bit of a loss for a 4Runner.

Looks like it is a niche market, as Ulrblitzer said. I personally have been looking for a fairly priced 2G TSX with Tech package (No issues finding the special edition models) Ideally, I would get a 6MT 4G TL, but can't justify the price premium for the AT model. Just don't think I can live without my backup camera since I'm pararel parking on the street or backing into very tight parking garage spaces

It is actually a teeny-tiny niche market. While folks on the forum are saying "I want a manual" out in the real world nobody wants a manual. Currently, only 5% of cars sold in the US are manuals - that cuts out 95% of the market..

OTOH, he might get luck and find somebody who wants a manual.
