It's no big deal.

AAMOF, the A4s were NOT an option either. You either accepted that they were MM6s or you moved on to a Coopay.

Yeah, im with Blue. Im not sure what the debate is...the ad clearly states "manual 6 speed". Unless it was a typo and he corrected it.

I saw that as well. I believe the OP has fixed it. They checked the wrong box (auto or manual). Had some fun with that on a local board as well.
