AOD 5.0 less expenive than a 5 speed?

[NEL5.0N]

I'm very much a newbie to Mustangs, especially 5.0s....All I know is I've always admired them (especially in notchback form and the throaty sound emanating from their exhaust). Anyways I've located a very clean '93 5.0 LX notch, and the price is just right, maybe too good. It has 15,617 original miles on it, selling for $9,000. The price seems a little low doesn't it? Or is it? Maybe the guy is clueless on how much it's really worth? Maybe he's deperate for money and figures 9K is ok for a 10 yr old car.

Anyways the car's interior is showroom condition and the owner has all the papers backing up the mileage's authenticity...it's never been driven in the winter, no mods, 100% stock.

Could the low price be due to the fact that it's an auto and those aren't really sought after? Are autos typically cheaper? What's the market value on 93 lx notchbacks? Anyone have production numbers for 1993? Any help is appreciated.
