while true, and environment aside, that wasn't my point :)

For those shopping for ICE (internal combustion engine) powered vehicles, keep in mind you will spend a lot more of your life standing at the gas pump. No joke.. In addition, it will cost more as many cars have a larger than 14 gallon fuel tank. This is what I'm learning/remembering after...

2014 CPO BMW 328i xDrive. Premium Package, Nav, Cold Weather, 19k miles..$26K. I still have limited patience for car dealers and even less for companies who lie and cheat for personal gain at the expense of the environment!!

Pretty sure the ball is in our court on this one. get your documents uploaded/faxed/mailed, and schedule the buyback appt for anytime between now and Sept 2018 (reschedule as many times as you'd like). Or, you can change your mind if a fix presents itself which is agreeable to you. We are the...

Online claims portal: Waiting on your fax. It's been at least 7 days, because I could not figure out how to upload multiple files of my notorized offer letter to the portal, or how to scan in multiple pages as 1 file, so, I faxed it and cannot imagine the mountain of paper at the other end of...

Really, since when is VW's example a moral compass by which we should all follow? I don't think so. In addition to the 120V converter, I definitely plan to sell my nice Nokian WR80 tyres I purchased with the gift card. And also the rims if anyone wants to buy me steelies but I doubt it...

oh wow, that thing is mine! very nice, and, mine doesn't have a green l.e.d. light pretty sure, so even easier. Either way, strikes me as a good unit to have. Thanks for the info!

Does anyone know off the top of their head if the 12V > 120V converter is an easy item to isolate and remove?

You see, diesel is less of a refined product than gasoline (more oily). So, in order to get emissions to modern standards, engineers need to essentially build a refinery within the exhaust system. No problem in a big truck where there is space, or in a gas car where the product is cleaner to...

Great read, thanks for the info. They needed to arrive at a number and did so. However as I've said before, any settlement calculations thus far are based on a hypothetical fix - and I have not heard of an accepted "modification". Maybe there will be new EPA data on the 18th, or perhaps they...

Greetings fellow victims! After much debate, I recently spent $50 to change the oil in my car, because despite being an environmentalist, my plan is to wait until May of 2018 to settle with VW as I would rather not incur the depreciation on a replacement vehicle any sooner than necessary. It...

I really wish my Jetta had a sunroof, my next car will definitely have one. Would now be a good time to install a double-hung window in the roof of the Jetta, like Ricky from the Trailer Park Boys?

There's no signing up for anything until we have optionS, not option. As in, what's the fix? Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Can't make a choice without an alternative... This isn't communist Germany.

Do not get the 2406. I did and my car is now a total dog. With the AC on, almost to the point of revving it up @ intersections with the accelerator and brake on to get going. Can't make moves in traffic - kind of like when you load-up a gas engine with the accelerator, plugs foul for a second...

Because the Fed's will receive 50% of what all combined owners are due, and they represented us (thanks!). Sharks were circling. SO at the end they said 'well ok, buyback the TDI's, pay us $5billion for new clean municipal cars, trucks, and buses (which is great!) and we'll let you squeeze a...

As far as I'm concerned, none of what's been offered is in play until they present us with a "modification" for each model. I'll take another look at the mileage adjustment, however from what I recall they are deducting for high mileage pre-dieselgate. Not cool. In fact, none of this is cool...

The use of Trade-In value Vs. Private Sale value is another marketing ploy by Volkswagen. Every news source reports what the other does, and right now there are many sources reporting VW settlement will be retail value plus $5,000-$10,000. All friends asking, 'so did you get $10k'? Excllent...

I completely agree, it's simply more deception from VW: they had to pick a number to start with, happens to be "Clean Trade-In" Personally, I will never trade-in a vehicle because I'm not lazy. ANYWAY, they have a baseline and fluffed the settlement by adding +/-$5k. Would have sounded a...

Ohhh got it, thanks. Not that "Modification Column 2" is relevant yet. Appreciate it

I'm confused: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/att._1a_-_buyback_modification_table.pdf Do we ADD the figure under "Modification Column 2" to, or SUBTRACT it from "Buyback Column 1"? My mileage adjustment works out to $0. I'm thinking ADD
