If you have a 2013 that was babied (how would you ever know) and/or had the CALID updated early on then it would probably be fine. The DI seal problem is only really an issue when shifting at redline. I believe my car was babied so it's probably fine. Regardless, if your in the market today I still stand by my advice to avoid 2013. Just not worth the risk.

Ok a few people posting that they couldn't get it done does not constitute "most dealers" but I see how that impression could come about. We never hear about the people that didn't have an issue since they have nothing to complain about.
Buying used is always a crap shoot at best so if MYs with known issues can be avoided then why risk it.
