Is there an unresolved issue that it's been in the shop for numerous times or for over a month?

it's funny - I think ARD would respond to such a post with ?????? MORE INFORMATION ?????? ... just in a more disrespectful, verbose way.
Yes. Or are you asking which of 2011 or 2012? In which case... ????? MORE INFORMATION ?????

I'm not going to get into details but it is emissions/software related. Weasel would know....PUMA has their hands full with trying to understand the operating limits of the SCR cat system. IMO. I've not posted about it simply because I don't need any assistance with this. Elsewhere in a diesel owners forum I brought up the issue to see if others had it... no one had ever reported my specific code. While we have been working with PUMA on this issue I did not feel the need to create drama with posts here about it. So, to be clear: I don't need tips on how to fix the issue. I am asking for opinions on the merits of a lemon to step up to either a 2011 or perhaps a 2012.... So, anyone want to answer the question? A PS Weasel- PM box is full...

Why wouldn't you want to lemon if you could? Aside from dumping your problem vehicle, from a purely financial standpoint you push your depreciation back by getting a newer car. I'd go for the 2012 over the 2011 on that basis.

That's my thinking, although it is not without cost. I'll pay a % of the cost based on the mileage... but even at 25% (30k/120k) it is probably worth it to buy two years of warranty and two years of 'new car' depreciation... plus I can order that GD spare tire!
