If you've ever bought anything online and given a phone number other than the one that your credit card is listed with, you should already know the result. The purchase never goes through because the credit card company doesn't validate the card.

Well this topic is now featured in Jalopnik, and this forum thread is linked in the article. Thought you'd like to know. Disgruntled Diesel VW Owners Are Stripping Their Cars Before Turning Them In

If you've canceled the insurance, you can't really drive it back to them, can you? That would really suck, either getting pulled over by a cop with no insurance, or worse, being in an accident on the way back to the dealer.

We got two packets, one to my wife and one to me, for the same car.

First thing I bought for my JSW was Weathertech mats front and back. I wonder if they'll fit in a new Golf wagon or Alltrack?

I wanted the TDI, but my actual priorities were: 1. Wagon 2. Stick 3. TDI I got lucky and found them all in a not-quite-three year old TDI with a CPO warranty, AND while I was standing there the guy dropped the price another thousand without me asking. Anyway, my priorities haven't changed...

We have an 03 Silverado "work truck" with rear seat and suicide doors. 2wd, V6, never needed 4wd but have needed the full size bed for those loads of gravel, 2x4s, sheets of plywood. Also drove it numerous times to the beach with a family of four, we have a timeshare so we could throw lots of...

https://www.engadget.com/2016/06/28/volkswagen-files-14-7-billion-diesel-settlement-us/ This is the part that keeps getting trotted out in the press and confuses everyone. If the $5100-10k is built into the final adjusted buyback amount, why is it a range? Who the heck is getting $10,000 + the...

Great googley moogly, this is the third time I've done the math on this because it's so confusing. 2011 Sportwagen 19097 (Eastern US) (from this PDF) - 750 (manual trans) ------ 14657 + 450 mileage adjustment (about 55000 miles) (from this PDF) ----- 18797 Buyback price, which is about what I...

I'm tending to doubt that your car's value will be frozen for an additional two years. I suspect that they'll calculate depreciation based on "what if there had been no dieselgate?" If they do freeze the value, then that makes a lower individual compensation amount more likely.

I believe the judge has shown two priorities: get the offending cars fixed or off the road (mandatory) and compensate owners. I don't think the judge would view it as any good whatsoever to make VW pay us money and then let us continue polluting. So I can see the compensation being linked to the...

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/21/business/volkswagen-emissions.html I didn't know about the dealer and competitor lawsuits. Jeez!

I noticed that yesterday, the server would tell me there were two more pages to read, but I couldn't access them. But if I posted like this, it dropped the reply on the page I was already reading. Is the server creating a couple of pages of placeholders for Threadzilla? :P

So some people would get more, some less, maybe based on depreciation? The person didn't want to be identified because s/he didn't know jack.

I've been wondering about that. I've been called twice in the last six months by the local dealer saying they really could use my 11 Sportwagen as they get a lot of requests for TDIs and of course can't sell any new ones. A friend on FB said they were probably trying to get the car off the road...

I'd take the money in a heartbeat, but what does this do to fix the emissions problems?

Hey, where do you take the cards to get them activated? Service department or dealer area? Those are widely separated at my dealer, so I'd like to know where to go first. :)

I got my cards in the mail over the weekend, but if you're talking about saving the dealer-only credit, that's only good for a year, right?

$25 to mount and balance a tire? No wonder people buy their tires at tire shops!

I got a phone call last summer from the local dealer (not where I bought it but where I have been getting service) wanting to know if I'd be interested in selling or trading. I actually think they wanted the car - then. :)
