Next time, read my post, please! I don't question anything that you say concerning cost X of fixing problem Y. My point was, NO MALFUNCTION MAKES ANYONE INELIGIBLE FOR THE BUYBACK. There, and I bolded an underlined it.
Millionaire. A winner!
They are using the mileage to determine how much the car would be worth at trade-in time. The average mileage is meaningless. If you drive more miles your car is worth less. Than they throw on 6500 dollars for you trouble. If you don't think 6500 dollars is enough than put your complaint there.
My '83 Saab 900 Turbo did, but I got cited for too much smoke.
If that's how they see it, then where's any "extra incentive" for lying to all of us, the govt', treehuggers, etc. Funny
You could always tow your TDI to a location a block away and drive in a blaze of glory (Smoke) for your settlement check.
Again, "SOL" is a clear different thing from being "ineligible," which carries legal connotations. There is nothing in the settlement that states that any malfunction or failure, or combination of such, makes one ineligible. Sure, if my car got stolen, I'd be SOL, collect the insurance check, and move on.....but that's what I'd do if any car we've ever owned was stolen, and I see no difference.
"In addition to the customer payments, Volkswagen (VLKAF) will pay $2.7 billion for environmental cleanup and $2 billion to promote zero-emission vehicles. The clean up money will be used by individual states to cut other diesel emissions by replacing older, government-owned trucks, buses and other diesel engines now in use."
Exactly. I'm not seeing what the issue is. For some people though, there's never going to be an amount that's good enough/fair/equitable/etc.
Oh good grief. Get over it or drop out of the settlement and sue on your own. Enough of the cry baby stuff - PLEASE.
I read what you wrote. I never said you said a malfunction invalidates possibility for buyback. I asked "who" would want to have to spend money to fix in order to get the buyback. No one I know.
yeah, basically they will say they can use clean retail, but then the additional money given will be less...or something along those lines.
LOL. Sorry... my sarcasm didn't come through in text form. I was speaking "as a whiner who is wanting the scalps of VW". For clarity, I'm perfectly content with the value that I've seen published for my buyback.
LOL - You got me!!!! Sorry.
Quite what? Please finish your sentence.
be quite verbose
Yup. We're done here, just as so many have predicted.
