What you call 'my absolutes' is simply my opinion. I have mine, you have yours. I make no apology for expressing my opinion. This is an open forum - take it for what it is - I charge nothing for it.
Re the issue you refer to... I challenge you to poll PDK owners about this and find out if my opinion is with the majority or not.
Re the OP's car, I do think it is a great value, notwithstanding the issue you referred to. I actually suggested it to someone who posted here recently looking for a car.

And thats not an absolute...just an opinion?
Riley answered your first statement about the SC and PDK but you needed to come back again and give your absolute. Its your MO.
I simply pointed it out. It was a way to let people know to take some of this stuff with a grain of salt.

You end a statement with...."There are no ifs or buts about it. Sorry!"
And thats not an absolute...just an opinion?

I stand by what I said. Strong opinion? Heck, yes. Based on the reality of driving many PDK cars and owning one. Go back a couple of years, do a search and you will find the same statement made by many in this forum.
BTW... the OP says the issue has not come up in comments by prospective buyers. Of course not. I bet (another strong opinion) that the majority of knowledgeable prospective buyers do not bother to reply to the ad, because of that omission.

MO? take my opinion with a grain of salt? Who are you? the forum police? I suggest that you and others who are taking this 'holier than thou' attitude argue the post, if you can, but stop the personal attacking that is becoming norm by some relatively new members.

I've been around enough forums to know what type of person you are. Your the type that people are referring too when they write about not wanting to be part of PCA. Your the know it all, shove it back in your face type. (See your knowledgeable buyers line...for more proof).
LIke I said, you had to go back at Riley even after he gave you his reason for not getting PDK. No one was arguing, he gave his reason. You just had to go back at him.
To Riley's credit he ignored you. As I and most of us should.

You preach open forum and how you immediately bring up forum police. This from the guy who tries to chase LiBr away from this forum because he owns a turbo and states his case.

we should save the above for another thread, i personally feel "opinions" should stay out of FOR SALE threads but then again everyone has different feelings on that and i am not the forum police... i would however prefer any arguments go outside the thread (ideal to stay in PM) as eventho im getting "bumped" its not the proper place for such conversation/argument.
thank you gentlemen,

That car has been one of my favorites on this forum, in spite of the non-S designation. Nothing not to like about this car. If things flip for me, I'd take it, wheels and all. (I know the price will be more)
Its looks are pure 'Understated elegance', with brawn to boot. Flippin' FANTASTIC car.
14,XXX is just nicely broken-in.

Nice car - seems priced closed to "trade-in" value. It should really be a good deal for the right buyer, especially now that the Sport/Sport+ options are available for it.
