    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    Reading through the approved Bosch settlement, it seems that only those who sold their rides before Jan 4, 2017 would get some $ (as far as the 2.0L owners go, not the lessees or those with extended warranties). So, for us who took the buy back later in 2017, there's jack Sh!t, zippo, nada...

    Well, the appointment this morning went well. Early time, not too many people at the dealership at 9. VW buyback rep was friedly. The whole process took less than 10 min. Main thing, he checked odometer reading and VIN. Asked to turn the engine on and that was that. Cheque is in the bank, and...

    Very petty behaviour from the dealer's personnel. Although, in all fairness, they were cheated as well by greedy corporate decisions. I have my return scheduled for this Saturday. Hope that everything goes smoothly.

    Same here. Four weeks for me now waiting for the darn letter. :mad: A friend of mine in the neighborhood submitted everything at the same time, got his offer two weeks ago and last week confirmed his appointment for June 24.

    I also have a loan with VW Finance. Doing straight buyback, though. Documents approved since May 10. The silence from Rice pudding is deafening.

    Thanks, it makes sense. Keep the plate portion and make sure the 407 account is updated accordingly.

    I have a province-specific question. Just wondering if one needs to inform Service Ontario about the transfer of ownership once the buyback is complete (I assume new owner is VW Canada?).

    I have no use for the original wheels. The tires, though, are a different story. I purchased Nokian WRG3s when we just got the car; best winter performance all seasons around. They are in excellent shape, so there's no way in heck I'm giving them to VW. I found some decent all seasons in...

    I'd do my happy dance, for sure. Two weeks for me now staring at the confounded green check marks.

    Arggggh.....Useless email, alright. 13 days of green check marks, no progress. Rice pudding is really dropping the ball. Would love to see more stats like how many of the 45,000 affected owners who had started claims had appointments set by now. My guess is not a whole lot.

    It's probably correct. I stupidly assumed that because my loan is with VW Finance, it would've been more or less expedite. No such thing. Now I regret it not had it paid off with a line of credit before the claim process started. The interest rate difference was not big, so in hindsight it...
