And the fact that companies are making fewer and fewer manuals only makes them worth more. Anyone looking for an S85 is going to be looking for a manual. They want an M6 convertible there is only 377 other choices ever made. This is probably one of the lowest mileages in the country. I sold my E60 M5 6 speed last year with a 42,000 miles and I got $38,000 for it.
This is my neighbor/clients car. He is very well off and has several other cars. We are not concerned in the least with getting a strong offer for this vehicle and we are in no rush.

I hope you do get your asking price. I'm a 6spd enthusiast to the core and hate the SMG. But that is emotion. The real facts based on sales, not emotion, suck for enthusiasts.
F12 M6s have sold in the 30s-40s already. BTW, sales for any other car (M5 or anything else) are unfortunately irrelevant to the sale of the M6. Again, I'm happy to share some wholesale sales figures with you, if you wish. Just trying to help.
