Take a look at my 2018 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. Fully loaded, AWD torque vectoring, 5,000# towing capacity, nearly 1,500# hauling capacity. Nice accelleration and smooth quiet ride. Best of all, VW paid for most of it. To paraphrase what I've said in all my other posts: Love(d) my TDi!!!:D

2018 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. Modern Steel Metallic with Gray interior.

Dropped off my '14 Passat TDi at the dealer on Thursday. I opted for the EFT. Dealer said I would receive an e-mail w/in 1-3 banking days from Chase with instructions for setting up an EFT account. I received the e-mail Friday evening (next day), and went online Sat. morning and set up the...

No More TDi!

Coordinating Buyback With New Car Purchase I'm going Buyback on my '14 Passat TDi SEL. I wanted to see if anyone who has recently gone through the full buyback/turn-in process had any advice regarding coordinating the buyback/turn-in with a new car purchase (not a VW). My thinking now is to...

Anyone know where we can look at the actual Sept. 2015 NADA value tables? I'm not talking about the FTC tables issued today.

I haven't read everything, but the calculation doesn't seem to include compensation for sales tax paid on the vehicle purchase/lease, which will vary based on where the vehicle was purchased or the purchaser lives. Seems like that should also be included in the Buyback, since individuals will...

That would be a waste of VW's time, since I'm going to be the one winning Powerball Saturday:D Love MY TDI$$$
