    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    They have approved cash settlement of $8500. I guess we drive the car home and wait for the vehicle turn-in appointment and collect our VW money as well. The car isn't street legal without the turn signal so we'll probably just park it until then. Good thing we have an extra winter beater to...

    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    I would but an extra $2500 might not be enough to get me out of this car before finding out if there will be an emissions fix. I kind of like the one of a kind nature of the 6MT Diesel Wagon trifecta and I have extra wheels/tires and roof rack that won't easily transfer to just any other car...

    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    I just spoke to the adjuster at TD Meloche Monex and he has mentioned the $2500 limit for cash settlement as well. I explained the situation and am seeking an exception for the full repair cost. He admits that it would cost them less in the long run since they won't have to pay 3 weeks worth...

    From the collision policy about $8.5k. From VW $5250 punitive + $14.5k buyback for the vehicle.

    That's sort of the way I was leaning. How often do you get to buy a car for $31k and get $28k for it 5yrs and 172,000km later? I just really like the performance, handling, utility and mileage of the GSW TDI and nothing else available is like it. Thanks for the responses.

    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    I'm just wondering what route you would go based on the available options. $28k is a lot of money but I can't find a comparable car, new, for that money so I'm considering going for the collision fix and then emissions fix (if approved) with the $5250 punitive.

    So would you take the money and run? Or fix collision damage and wait for emissions fix?

    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    If he settles the claim, its settled, it doesn't matter if you fix it or not. He has met his obligation under the collision policy. Second point is moot, but for sake of argument the loss would potentially be in resale value.

    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    I'm being totally upfront with the adjuster about the buyback. He doesn't care if they settle with a repair or with a cheque. What you do with the car after is up to you, they have fulfilled their policy obligations. And the claim is going through regardless since it was a rear-end and there...

    Dieselgate, The Canadian Edition

    Accident Damaged Sportwagen Hi TDI Club, I'm looking for some legal opinion and some regular opinion on this situation. This is in Ontario, Canada and all in CAD. Our 2012 6MT GSW was rear-ended last week. The collision shop estimated $8500 in repairs. The adjuster has stated that the car is...
