I would like to accept the buyback offer on my 2014 Golf TDI, and just save the money at this time. I own a second car that will serve as a usable car for a few years.
Does anyone know how VWoA/dealers are deciding what vehicles to fix/resell and what to scrap? My local dealer said '09s and '10s with very high mileage are getting scrapped, but there isn't much other activity now.
Mine has 52,000 miles. However, the steering wheel is a little squeaky (assume they could replace the slip ring easily when replacing the airbag) , the original tires are still legal but will need replacement, the brakes work fine now but I would assume it needs front pads/rotors soon, and there is a 1/2" long crack in the windshield.
VW can fix all of that for less money than it would take me to do so, and it makes sense that they want to keep TDIs on the road as part of the settlement. Still, I'm not sure if they would consider it too expensive to fix anyway.
I really like the car, but would prefer to have money in my pocket. I would hate to see them scrap it, though. I took care of the car as if I was going to own it indefinitely.
Thank you.
