DAY 26 - DEC 4, 2017
I just received a call from Ricepoint and made an appointment to drop my car off at a VW Dealer on Dec 21, 2017. I was allowed to choose any dealer I wanted so I choose the dealer that had the earliest appointment date near my house. I would have had to wait until Jan 2018 if I went with the first dealer, so keep this in mind when they call so you don't get stuck waiting longer.
The person on the phone will ask you to confirm your details and ask a bunch of questions about your car but its all straight forward.
I confirmed that payment will be in USD and a cheque will be sent via FedEx, 15 business days after dropping off the vehicle at the dealer.
There is finally light at the end of the tunnel......
