That's kind of perplexing to me because when I was in the market, the MT's were scooped up very quick...we're talking about on the market for less than a week. And your car seems to have msport and navi which makes it even more desirable. I would venture to say that there are even more enthusiasts in the used car market (since they can't afford new) and the residual is actually higher since less people buy MT's new...whereas autos flood the market.
