can't or wont? two vastly different statements
Right you are. Bubble burst! Looks like VW will need to go back to finding out how to reduce NOX.
I am in for a new car (non emissions related reasons)....tried selling my TDI on kijiji for the last 30 and some days....thousands of views and not a single reply. If someone was looking specifically for a used TDI then no problem...but to the average Joe out there looking for A car...the TDI is a turn off at the moment. In my opinion anyways.
Why don't you list it in the for sale forum here on TDIClub?
Just think how he's going to feel if (when?) it's revealed June 21 they'll value his car based on TRADE-IN Value.
That was why I said I don't agree with everything he says. I actually try to leave opinions out of my posts. When I read posts like that, I don't even register the rudeness or name calling(unless it is directed at me).Well, unless you have some skin in the game you're probably better off not provoking a fight through name calling and the like. Adage applies: if you haven't walked a mile in another man's shoes...
I certainly have an open mind and enjoy the differing views expressed, however I do object to a self-important asshat with an attitude. But that's just me
Try driving around in 85 degree weather with no AC. Yeah that's right, 2.5 year old car has NO ac. Out of warranty too.....I hate to admit it, but I actually agree with you on this one.
My 2016 Touareg TDI has been pulling right ever so slightly since I bought it. When I brought it in to the dealer for them to look at, they told me the alignment is off and that I needed to pay for it ($249); no good will from VW period once it's driven off the lot. I am pretty disgusted at the cost cutting going on here. I can only imagine what else they are screwing people over with.
I've owned several Hondas, Toyotas and Hyundais. ALL of them covered alignment under 12,000 miles/12 months. Not these yahoos.
Actually, so long as the sharks profit, what do they care what the commoners get? They only lose if the commoners don't accept the settlement, which given the slow uptake on the free $1000, they might just ram it through and hope enough don't opt out to void the settlement.
Profit? How is being reimbursed for being the victim of VW obtaining money under false pretenses profiting?
If they offer trade in value CAS will not approve the agreement. Won't happen
I had one dealer who wouldn't take it in a trade because of the unknown with dieselgate.
EPA/CARB and CAS must agree on this, I believe. There is also a 30-day comment period after the proposed settlement is made public. There will be no "ramming through" anything with lawyers from all entities involved.
Oh I almost forgot, your one of those who foolishly buys a new car every 3 years, so you should be OK with Trade-in value since that's what your used to anyways.
Looks like he was offering a fair amount for a car that hasn't been maintained. Who wants a 4 year old car that doesn't have working AC and bald tires? The dealer would probably have to do $2K worth of maint to turn around and sell it for $18K, hoping to pocket $2k for his gamble.
Yet, THIS:
They want info for their specific situation? Then wait until June 21st when the info on the proposed settlement is released. As has been mentioned many, many, many times, Judge Breyer imposed a "Confidentiality Order" (aka "gag order") on public release of that info prior to June 21st. Please see these court documents:
You can watch the whole Pandora's promise on YouTube as well. It's a 3 part series
This is absolutely the way to handle these people. That, and the "ignore list." Before Threadzilla, I had zero people on my ignore list; I now have 8. The only thing to keep in mind is that the trolls want to be fed, so don't feed them, which all too many people do.
Using more "common" parts doesn't mean cheaper, it means they are using the same part on more models in the line up. They are simply streamlining the production process to cut cost, it's actually smart.
Not foolish..... I happen to like owning a new car every three years. I know I am paying a lot of depreciation, but I also am fortunate enough to make enough money to support this. The depreciation doesn't bother me, as long as it is normal depreciation and NOT what VW has caused the car to depreciate.
3 year old car. Tires are OK, they would need to be replaced. If he asked I would certainly tell him about the AC lol
About the same here: before I had 3 now I have 12 (though I believe one has received a permanent ban, so I might remove it)
