Has anybody gone through the VWGoA Online Claims portal yet? I just did out of curiosity, and according to the website's calculations, my buyback total was drastically lower than the chart that went out a few weeks ago, which claimed that 2015 SE models will receive approximately $27,202. Also, added options such as the lighting package weren't taken into account. The information that went out a few weeks ago claimed that added options would be factored into the cost of the buyback.
Also, the mileage factor can be crippling. Earlier information stated that the price of the buyback would be based on the value of the cars as of September of last year, which was reflected in the prices given. Same with the mileage. I was given an official detailed printout from the salesman who sold me my car, which stated that there would be an added $700 for cars under 5000 at the time of the scandal. I have 30k on the clock now, but at the time the scandal broke I was well under 5k (with a 10k service record last November to prove it).
So, based on the figures I was given a few weeks ago, my buyback plus restitution would have put me close to $34k. With the VWGoA website, my numbers are drastically lower.
Anybody have any further information about this?
