Value Of Manual Or Automatic Sera

[tonnie200]

As some of you know I've got a sera that has been written off. The insurance guy has offered a very low price which I'm not going to accept.

He said an automatic sera is worth more than a manual sera.

However I am lead to believe that the manual toyota seras are very rare and more sought after, therefore would have thought the manual would be worth more.

Am I write in thinking this?

Thanks,

Tonnie

manuals are rare.

The automatic version is more common than the manual, and in the UK the manual version usually commands a premium.

Market value - to go out and buy a Sera in good condition (I've not seen yours remember), I would normally advise people to spend over £ 2,500, generally the more you spend, the better a car you get.

What have they offered you?

If you want, I'll right a letter to you. Email me details etc.,
