My son has had the old girl in CA for quite some time. It has 280K+ miles. The car has been phenomenally bulletproof! The best investment I ever made in a car. In fact, the A/C compressor was the 1st thing of significance to go bad, and it failed after 7 years and 180K miles (we live in FL...

In my 2012 Touareg TDI with dieselgate fix. :D https://i.imgur.com/qcq19MR.jpg

I changed our 1998 Jetta TDI every 20,000 miles per oil analysis. It now has around 270,000 miles and runs great!

The VW offers have been WAY more than adequate. WHY are you bellyaching???

Just curious. My similar 6-speed BMW X5 3.0L d35, I typically upshifted to next higher gear at 1,700 RPM. I've been shifting my new (to me) 2012 Touareg 3.0 8 speed at 1,750. How about you manually shifting? The torque curve indicates it should be fine when it drops down to around 1,400 RPM...

Had one owner, and it was in San Antonio the whole time, so NO road salt exposure! :D

Has only 180K Miles. :D Pic here: https://i.imgur.com/hf8oEh6.jpg

With a mere 80K miles. :D

I just bought a one owner, VW buyout 2012 Touareg TDI Sport w/only 80K miles from a VW dealership for $15,800. $27K seems HIGH. With THAT low miles, might have been all/mostly city miles which is not good on a vehicle (lots of short trips not fully warming engine).

After approx. 250 miles of driving off from dealership with a 2012 in like new condition & 80K miles, A CEL light came on, and when I scanned it with my Schwaben (Foxwell) scanner I find I have a P20EE/$07E code, meaning "NOX Catalyst efficiency below threshold". I reset it and will see if it...

:D:D:D Had our 1998 Jetta TDI since 12/97, and my son now has it in LA area with around 270,000 miles. We were at TDI Fest in 2000 in Wilmington. A few years later, added a used Y2K Beetle TDI. Sold it Beetle some time ago, as it was a bit problematic. Then around Spring 2015, we got a nice...

No fix needed in Europe!

Me too, taking into account the holiday weekend. I be VERY happy! :D:D:D

I do not recall reporting mileage for the Loyalty Cards.

I got the $500 general credit (to be used anywhere) and the $500 dealer credit (which was TOTALLY used up for our 120,000 mile service) some time ago, and REALLY appreciate it. Got over $2000 for we paid for our '09 Jetta (3 years prior) in the buy back PLUS the $1,000 cards for a total of...

In our case, had the difference between the cash-to-keep and the buyout amounts been not nearly so HUGE ($7,600), we would have definitely KEPT our 2009 Jetta TDI w/123,000 miles. I suspect the HUGE differences were the reason that most all gave up their beloved TDIs.

Update: Bye, Bye wonderful 2009 Jetta TDI!!! (VW buyback complete). I would have kept you, had the difference between the cash-to-keep and the buyout offer had no been so HUGE ($7,600). Good luck and ENJOY! to whomever and where ever the next owner may be! BTW: We LOVE our replacement car...
