2.3 Coupe with automatic???

I am looking for a Coupe 88er-95er BJ preferred with 5 cylinders. Now I have found one which corresponds to my wish in almost all points – only … it has an automatic transmission. The car should replace the Odie in winter and also serve as a long-distance vehicle. What are the driving performance (and consumption) in relation to the switch? What about the resale?
