As these cars continue to age and with the flooded aftermarket support, I see manuals becoming more desirable. Mileage and age become more of a factor... The manual trans, clutch and flywheel is cheaper to maintain or replace if "kaputt".

Agree but keep in mind that the cost of an option when the car was new has no bearing on what the car brings down the line.

That may be, but that is even more reason why they will be worth more, especially since most car makers are now catering to simple drivers with these automatics.

Yes and no, supply is more likley to dictate. Less MTs means they will be worth more down the line
