Thanks Chris!

Color:White would be my first choice. If no white then grey or silver would work. No black.

Options: Not as important as most "options" seem to be aesthetic so I can personalize after the fact. Only extras that seem to be "nice" to have but not as important to me would be PCCB or X50.

Aftermarket: Would prefer a stock, unmolested car so I can molest it

Miles: Not as important if well documented service history and taken care of the way I take care of my cars. I guess the upper limit of miles would be 50-75K?

No afiliation, but a friend of mine was looking at this car, it seems like a great example. It meets your requirements PCCB + Color + CPO!! plus is priced reasonably...

I saw that one...thanks! Has a few things that I don't like but they can be changed (all the trim in silver).

It's not the "perfect" one so I am going to keep it on the list but keep looking. Why did your friend not buy it?

+ 1 - I spoke with one of the salesman about that car. List price is a bit high... it does have the PCCBs (but I hope you dont have to replace a rotor).

CPO is the way to go, IMO.

If it can be had UNDER 50K then I'd be interested. I'll follow up and post back.

Yes, I agree, CPO is a must for me. Just need that piece of mind while I sort the car out

For street driving and ocasional DEs I think PCCBs are ok, and if they break u can always buy steel rotors, my friend did not buy it because he is not sure if he wants a 6TT or a 7S. But he still has it on his list, he also didnt like the silver trim. I agree with CPO being a must, I got mine exactly 1 yr ago and so far my CPO warranty has paid over $6k in "minor issues"

God bless the CPO!

In this thread, I see mention of oil staining on the air filter. I am looking at a car and it seems to have this when I look at pictures of the engine compartment. Is this a sure problem or an indication that something may be wrong?
