    Tired of Waiting for 2nd Round Bosch Checks

    I received my check some time this week - hadn't been to the mailbox. It did NOT show up on my informed delivery. It was in an envelope and a letter piece of paper, dated August 23rd. Anyway, Buyback was March 9th, received Bosch last week in August. I was one that had bought 12/2015, and it...

    Tired of Waiting for 2nd Round Bosch Checks

    Still waiting here. And actually, due to a variety of things - this single mom could use the money.

    Cars from Storage with trashed parts?

    Soooo..... someone at the dealership was swapping parts, and probably charging the customer for a new one they didn't pay for.... This gives a new name to the term "stealership" - and i'd be hot and reporting it to Class Counsel and VW HQ.

    Tired of Waiting for 2nd Round Bosch Checks

    I"m in the position of having purchased a former leased car 12/15 (turned in 11/15). I have no way of knowing if the leasee decided to file a claim for 1/2 of the payment. I've only seen one person post they got a partial payment. I only know it was a leased car from the CarFax btw. ETA: and...

    Who got the payment from BOSCH?

    So it was a prior lease that you bought used? The $175 means you split the money with someone - so that could be the other car. ETA: It also means I could be getting a check soon - and I'm wondering if all the 2nd batch of checks will be the smaller amount..... Hmmm.....

    Trading in your VW TDI? What will be your next car

    Huh. I'm not surprised at all - it fits the culture of the German automakers to me. That said, a joint "how are we going to deal with the California crazy CARB crap" meeting wouldn't be unwarranted.

    Who got the payment from BOSCH?

    I'm not a lessee - I bought my car in 12/2015, and it was apparently a prior leased vehicle turn in 11/2015. SO, I could get it all, or I could be splitting it with the prior owner from the way it reads. I just have no way of knowing which it is. I haven't seen anyone indicate they got the...

    Who got the payment from BOSCH?

    Still nothing here. I'm actually in a really tight spot money wise and could use it to help out - which of course means it will take eons. I wish someone that owned a prior lease would chime in - still no clue if i'm getting $350 or $170. Obviously hoping it is $350. Maybe next month....

    Who got the payment from BOSCH?

    Still nothing, and still haven't seen anyone mention getting less than $350 from a prior owned/leased car.

    Who got the payment from BOSCH?

    Still nothing here, still curious if it was because mine was a prior lease I bought 12/15. Has anyone gotten the partial payment yet?

    Who got the payment from BOSCH?

    Someone did in the first couple of pages. Mine was a purchase of a prior leased vehicle. No sign of a check here. :(

    Who got the payment from BOSCH?

    Still waiting to hear from someone that bought a prior leased car. And I keep checking USPS informed delivery.... what I learned yesterday is that my mail lady won't bring a package to my house when it is raining. Ok then. LOL

    Shopping for better rates on car insurance VW Golf TDi

    My insurance with Geico was $50 more a month than USAA ($100) here in Florida. Same coverage, same clean record. Alas, my oldest is taking her drivers test on Thursday... there go my rates (she has to pay the difference).

    Who got the payment from BOSCH?

    So all have been for $350 it looks like - except for the one that the person was leasing it. My car was a prior lease, turned in 11/15 and I bought in 12/15. I'm assuming I still might only get 1/2. It doesn't matter - it all goes into the savings account to pay on the new car.

    GM accused of rigging diesel emissions

    I find it amusing that the ones quick jump to this assumption are from the West coast. CARB and the EPA..... can we toss in the coastal commission for good measure??? (3rd generation California that ran away to Florida - I can blame CARB if I want :p )

    If you are considering buyback which cars are you looking at as replacements?

    You guys are killing me on the Niro feedback!!! LOL I'm still enjoying my Tuscon, and my parents are looking to trade-in their Passat for an SUV of the Hyundai/Kia variant. Enjoy it!!!!

    If you are considering buyback which cars are you looking at as replacements?

    I bought a 2015 Tuscon, and my kids have more room in it in the back seat, and we find the front seat area more spacious. We don't bump elbows on the arm rest. Even my mom feels there is more space between the sweats than in her Passat. The kids don't complain near as much when they have to go...

    California raises diesel tax about 35 cents per gallon

    I did similar calculations when comparing car cars to my JSW. I needed to know how much my fuel expense was going to go up. I'm trying to ignore the reality of averaging 28mpg over my 36mpg (I have a lot of "city" driving in the winter when the snowbirds show up and clog the roads). What I find...
