No one really knows yet as there aren't many with 120K miles or 12+ years old...yet.

But consider this - a PDK has two clutches, several servos, many sensors, and a complex computer controller. And most of the parts that might fail are inside the transmission, meaning that the trans must be removed and opened up for repairs.

Do you think this is going to be inexpensive to repair?

It's taken me a year to add 800 miles to my car.

I've got time . . .

Plus I don't have the attention span to keep it for 8+ years.
