Used them and saved a boat load over buying at brick and motor store 10 miles from the house. Maybe they wised up and changed their purchasing methods.
I finally received my Goodwill package today. It's 9 weeks later from when I had signed up on 4/21. Gonna get money order to cash out the $500 Visa card. I'll use Dealer card towards buying prepaid maintenance for my next VW. Yup, I will choose TDI buyback to get into another VW.
The thousand comes first, since to activate the cards you need to bring your car to the dealer for them to verify certain info about it. If you trade it in first, you will no longer have it available to verify the info, so you won't be able to activate the cards.The question now will be .. which comes first... the goodwill $1000 or me trading in the TDI
We've been very pleased with our '13 Passat TDI, but I'm not sure a gas Passat is going to be a good way forward for us. And cars of an equivalent size have no real standouts. The closest thing that has any appeal for us would probably be an Outback.
The only appeal it has to me is that it is just about the only "station wagon" that's affordable, other than the GSW. However I'm not overly fond of it, and it looks awkward on its jacked-up suspension, reminds me of the old AMC Eagle. It's also ugly, and not particularly fuel-efficient. The only attributes I see it having for me is that it's a wagon, can be had with a manual transmission, and in a price range we're willing to spend for a car. Volvo, Merc, Audi and BMW wagons are all way overpriced.
Another one bites the dust
Same here. If manuals disappear, I could perhaps get used to a DSG or even a regular torque converter automatic, but CVT? Yuck!CVA is a turn off for me
Best I ever had in an AUTO TRANS is my DSG
Yes, the GSW TSI is on my short list. And - after testing driving - so is the Mazda 3..........Car and Driver raves over the 6M/decent - light - clutch. Test drive has me on the same page.
VW is going to call it the "Alltrack". However the 4Motion AWD system will also be on the non-cladded Golf wagons. Personally I prefer that. Cladding is just another place for grit to get caught behind and initiate rust.Saw an article on the vortex the there is going to be an Allroad Golf Wagen for 2017... Count me in, 2.0t, dsg, 4 motion... Nice
What is a "non-cladded" Golf wagon?
The VW Golf Alltrack will have plastic cladding like the Allroad, around the wheel arches and below doors and on door sills:
Imagine the difference between a regular Subaru Legacy wagon and a Subaru Legacy Outback (the Outback being cladded with all of that plastic body work).
Got it!! Looked over the pics and I can see the rubber maid add-on's.
Was this Hewlett in Georgetown? I looked on their website and didn't see any Yeti products. Just asking, because I think this is actually a pretty cool use of the card, especially if you're ridding yourself of VW after this debacle.
