I have a similar car with about 30k miles and am going to wait until the last possible moment next to make a decision, to take advantage of the fact that VW will pay me the same amount for the car next year as now, saving me a year's depreciation on a replacement. It also gives me the opportunity to take the restitution payment and keep the car (which I think is fantastic; there is nothing available that can match its combination of quality and efficiency), if a fix is approved (VW submitted a proposal to fix the Gen 1 cars to the EPA and CARB on 1/25, according to court documents) and is acceptable to me.
Kind of like with the class rings for Citadel graduates.
Me too.
Good link but I could not locate the ultimate disposition of my Golf. Lotsa detailed info but where does it indicate if the car is for sale or not? I am curious.
Exactly. That manager has no clue what he speaks of.
Thanks, so did mine. Records indicate to Schnitzer Northeast, a scrap-yard in Johnston, Rhode Island.
Schnitzer also did mine at the same yard. Crushed on Valentines day.
Well, if you want to climb through the barbed wire and brave the lot dog, by all means get in there and get us some fresh pics. We'll look at 'em!
As mine made it to 145k (82k by me in 4 years) and the rest by its prior owner, not all bad, but still a waste.
It's known that they've contracted with specific scrap yards to do this, and that included security measures; it wouldn't be surprising at all to find that this also included a non-disclosure agreement.
