Default LX's are more valueable or not

I was looking in the autotrader today and i saw the the LX coupe are selling for alot more than GT and LX hatches. Me personally I like my LX coupe and wouldnt trade it for anything but why are the coupes more valuable than the GT's.

Default RE: LX's are more valueable or not

just cuz they are the lightest and tightest handling. plus pretty rare compared to gt's and lx hatch of the same color
my calypso notch is 1 of 519 coupes

check these stats...

1988 Model Production Numbers

LX 5.0 Sedan (P40E): 5,568 (379 of them Special Service)
LX 5.0 Hatchback (P41E): 16,331
LX 5.0 Convertible (P44E): 5,188
GT Hatchback (P42E): 50,282
GT Convertible (P45E): 18,158

1989 Model Production Numbers

LX 5.0 Sedan (P40E): 10,528 (776 of them Special Service)
LX 5.0 Hatchback (P41E): 24,734
LX 5.0 Convertible (P44E): 10,575
GT Hatchback (P42E): 40,231
GT Convertible (P45E): 19,417


1990 Model Production Numbers

LX 5.0 Sedan (P41E): 7,905 (921 of them Special Service)

LX 5.0 Convertible (P44E): 9,692
GT Hatchback (P42E): 33,639
GT Convertible (P45E): 12,252

i also prefer the look of a notchback too, thats why i'm on my 3rd.

a stripped beat coupe (you know...to a certain extent) will get more than a clean loaded gt any day of the week

The LX coupes are more expensive just because they are harder to come by. If the coupes were more abundant than the hatchbacks you would see the price of the hatchback go up. Personally,
I don't like the coupe that much because it doesn't have that sporty, fast look to it.

Just my opinion.
