Not sure why the saltiness - you are buying a 2015 car, all its parts are 2015 parts. Complaining about getting 2015 maps is like complaining about any other part of it being the 2015 version - that's what you're buying! I'm guessing the broken nav system will be covered under warranty.
Go...
I have the same vehicle and wondering the same thing. I have a feeling VW are going to try to stretch it out and/or not pay us anything, but that's just my gut feeling. Could be the quantity of Tregs in Canada makes it a much smaller issue from a regulatory/legal perspective? On the legal side...
Read above - your bank holding onto your money for days at a time is THEM ripping you off, not VW. I'm with HSBC and there is zero hold on cheques, including the one from VW I deposited from VW a few weeks ago.
Don't care if you don't buy another VW but do it for the right reasons, and maybe...
Go check the detail of the buyback material you received. I'm pretty sure it just states that the car can drive in under it's own power, but you should go check.
On the insurance front, I'm pretty sure that the insurance company will direct you to an approved repairer and pay them directly when...
8 mins?? Damn Ricepoint - they're too fast! How the heck are we supposed to have material to keep complaining about on here when they're so damn efficient in this bit of the process!?!?
Nope, I have a Touareg TDI that I'm waiting for news on. Doesn't seem to be a single word about Canadian 3.0 online. I guess there's not quite so many.
I asked the RicePoint rep when I returned my 2.0 today and she knew nothing about 3.0s so I guess we can assume it's a very long way off up here.
Thanks! I must say I've been lucky that it's all been relatively straightforward. It's good to get it finished up although we will kind of miss the car. IMO it's weird they didn't do more to try to tempt leasees to buy out at a preferential price.
On your questions:
- No lease inspection prior...
Completed my early lease termination at the dealer today. Super-efficient Ricepoint reps - one looked at the car while the other went through the docs and signatures. Max 10 minutes from me walking in to leaving cheque-in-hand. I honestly can't imagine how it could have been any better organized...
Americans by and large want "big" and "cheap" in their cars. Audis and VWs are traditionally neither and were never intended to be. When I moved from Europe in 2006, the trend was towards ever smaller cars, for VW that meant models like the Polo, 3L and the Up which make sense in any city. Those...
You're forgetting about the previous owner (Eligible Seller) scenario.
Hope it gets sorted for you soon. I've tried not to get too worked up and fixated on it - take a step back. In a few months we'll all barely even remember any of this crap. Not really worth stressing over IMO.
Sorry you're having issues but I'm not sure duplicate claims is helping you - the website clearly says "Please do not submit more than one claim for the same vehicle as this could delay the processing of your claim.". It seems logical to me that all duplicates (which could be from different...
As someone who works on case management software systems like the one they very likely use - there is typically an internal status and an external status. What they see on the phone is internal status so it's obvious to them there's an issue; the fact that you don't see a change in (external)...
What is a "regular inspection" and why would anything else be needed? The one-pager they gave me when I signed up for my appointment says there will be an "end-of-lease inspection" and this will surely happen when I go back with it. Aside from that there's a checklist of the five other things...
Re: protection package, the dealer called me today chasing the "hot lead" of me booking my appointment and maybe needing a replacement. I guess it didn't occur to them I might have thought of options before now, including speaking to their disinterested salesmen a couple of weeks ago before...
Efficient Ricepoint today, thought I'd provide some balance - got my offer letter at 4pm, returned at 4:45 and then got notification to schedule my appointment at 7:45 - pretty good IMO. Earliest dealer appointment 19th June. Lease termination - not heard of many others.
Question for any other...
Totally this. I am so sick of the impatience and logic failures going on around this stuff. Makes you wonder about people. "Gimmies" is an excellent word for it!
Risky move IMO. Most likely that will set your "submitted date" as today and put you back of the line. Seems only fair if other people have submitted all their docs before you.
Has any Canadian who is leasing sold to a friend/spouse in order to be able to register as an eligible owner? I know this was a loophole in the US deal, does it exist in the Canadian deal I wonder?
