Facts are facts, doesnt make one better than the other.
He's not wrong, much more common car. Prices are just lower. This isnt exclusive to Camaro's.

Actually, I just did a random sampling on Cars.com of manual vs automatic 2014-15 Camaro V8 coupes with less than 20K miles. There were 97 manuals & 169 automatics. The high & low prices were within $500 of each other, which is negligible. Therefore, while there's no added value to an automatic, the statement "L99 gonna knock it down about 3 to 5 k" is incorrect.
