My Carnet app shows my car somewhere in North Bergen NJ. I briefly thought of flashing my lights remotely one last time for old times sake :( Miss it, but glad it's over.

To answer a couple of questions: The dealer won't give you their dealer discount plus the VW special deal. As I mentioned earlier and was quoted above, the special pricing for VW owners starts at MSRP. Most dealers have their own internal discounting schemes. The dealer we did business with...

Plug your info into a calculator, like this one (there are several out there online). You can play with the mileage and time to see how this affects the payoff. https://agrahamg.github.io/VWBuybackCalculator/

I had no problem talking to them yesterday, though I had to wait on hold for a while. My question was whether to send in this month's payment, as the car is scheduled for buy back on Jan 6th, and I assumed vw already got balance info from them. They told me to make the payment, to avoid any...

Sooner than later for me, as I'm afraid of wacking a deer and totaling the car before vw can buy it back.

The "Beware of black ice" warning that comes on EVERY time the outside temperature drops to 39 F. It was cute...once.

As a happy tdi owner, I've got no problems with any of this. The EPA and CARB did just what they should have. VW deliberately cheated our regulations, and is now paying the price. Cheating in the car business is nothing new, emission cheating is nothing new. VW got caught, pure and simple...

This VW deal with Hyundai is pretty cut and dry. We just recently bought a 2016 Sonata hybrid. Our dealer figured the pricing both ways for me...their in house way of calculating their best price vs. starting at MSRP, and figuring the VW tdi owner's pricing with all the current incentives. We...

FWIW, I put a post in about my experience following up on the current Hyundai deal for VW TDI owners here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=468747&page=4 Just got the Sonata hybrid yesterday. Very nice car so far, though it's not as much fun to drive as our '15 golf tdi. I does...

We live in a hilly area and had no issues with the sonata hybrid with concerns to power. It had a similar feel power wise to our golf tdi when it came to passing traffic up hill. I was actually pretty surprised driving the hybrids. I expected a gutless wonder when we first took a camry hybrid...

Kind of odd. Either they had one heck of a price on it to begin with or...? The VW deal works like this...You start at MSRP. Calculate what 3% of that is. Then find out dealer invoice is. To that, you have to add destination charges and advertising cost (don't know what that is, but they...

We just took advantage of the deals on the outgoing 2016's (4k cash off instead of the 2k cash off on 2017's). A dealer close to us is dealer trading a Sonata hybrid in for us in the color and "limited edition" trim we wanted. The "local" dealer in our town really dropped the ball on this...

I actually come at it from the other side...I was a dealer tech in a Mercedes dealership (as well as other dealerships) for a number of years, in a previous life. I also owned the local Snap-on franchise for about 10 years, so I saw the service side of all the local places. That said, it's...

Wow. It looks like I opened a can of dealer hate.:D

I know. Totally hard to believe, right? We took our 2015 golf tdi in this morning for its 20k service. I had previously gotten estimates from the dealer for the 20k, 30k, and 40k services so I wouldn't be surprised, but they managed to surprise me anyway. I fully expected to pay around $440...

Possibly... I haven't checked with them personally. I was just going by the banner ad on the main page of their web site. Most VW dealers, like the one below, are advertising the 2k loyalty bonus using the banner ad on their main page: http://www.burdickvw.com/ Our local dealer seems to be...

Ha Ha. My local dealer is offering only a $500 loyalty bonus. How stupid do they think we are? Like we don't read the news...sheesh.

If this is your worst nightmare you need to get out more. No offense intended, but people are getting entirely too worked up over this. It will be sorted out eventually. I'm currently in Harare Zimbabwe on a trip, a place where you can literally cut diesel exhaust with a knife. I'm also...
