    Great. Got my offer accepted email today, went to the portal to set my appt., and OF COURSE the portal is down. Even called their 844- help line just to have them tell me there is no estimated time that it will back up. Thanks for implementing a half-baked web solution for this buyback VW...

    My screwed up buyback experience...

    I know this is a dumb question, but I'd never bought a new car before this one. When buying a new car, the dealer just pays the sales tax and passes that on to you. For the buyback, when do I pay the sales tax on the amount VW is putting in my account? When I turn in my plates to the NJ DMV...

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

    I've stopped looking for now. I had no idea how long it would take between "documents approved" to "eligibility approved"! This is ridiculous. My docs have been approved now for 3 weeks. But they are still deciding if I'm eligible.

    Thanks TwinMom. Had no idea they would bring it back! Looks like Canada already has it: https://www.mazda.ca/en/vehicles/2017-mazda5/overview/

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

    Mine too. With 3 kids (5,8,10) I've switched to only looking at 3 row cars. Minivans are all on the radar, but I like the (used) Kia Sedona the best so far for my budget. If I find a really great deal on a 3-row Mazda5 (discontinued in 2015) or the really strange 3-row Kia Rondo (discontinued...

    Dealer's offer to put together a deal.

    Just got this offer for a 2017 GSW TSI S 5MT from Sheehy Volkswagen of Springfield, VA: Here's your out-the-door price based on qualifying the Owner Loyalty that is included in the price and registering in NJ. Our price does require financing through one of our preferred lenders. Vehicle...

    Dealer's offer to put together a deal.

    If I could have found a dealer here in NJ willing to take $5K-6K off a 2017 5MT GSW I probably would have put a deposit on it. The few I asked about it basically said I was crazy. So I gave up on VW. And now I see a dealer in VA doing it on all of their GSWs!

    Other OEM incentives for affected TDI owners

    Isn't Kia a "sub-brand" of Hyundai? Will Kia be offering the same deal to TDI owners?

    Missing co-registrant on the portal? Have they reset your account? What happened?

    The title for our car only has my wife's name on it. But we're splitting the check after they issue it, and each buying a different car with our half. Can I register myself as a co-registrant if only her name is on title? They VW could split the payment and make things easier.

    Other OEM incentives for affected TDI owners

    Thank you kukaki! I will look at their models. Can this be applied to a CPO model? Not sure if I can afford a new a car at this point, unless Hyundai also has some 0% financing in place also . . .

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

    Thanks for the feedback! (both of you) Confirmed my misgivings after test driving a 2009 Sunday. I'll be looking at used Kia Sedonas I guess. I'm lost. I have no idea what to replace this 2009 JSW with. Wish Tesla had built their minibus available. Wish VW had never discontinued their minibus...

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

    Is anyone driving / looking at a Mazda5? Mazda stopped making them after 2015 I think. I've decided, with 3 kids, to look a minivan/cuv with 3 rows if I can get one. The Mazda5 Sport actually had a 5MT version. Smallest car with 3 rows I've ever seen. Should I get one of these used?

    Will VW Offer Generous Loyalty Rebates On New Cars?

    I was never able to get any hint of incentives from my rep. He wanted me to come in and order a manual trans GSW, complete with a deposit, since he said they probably won't have any on the lot when I sold the JSW back. Nothing pre-owned anywhere with MT. So went to plan B, which is just get a...

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

    Thanks! Had not heard of this one. Worth a look when they bring this to the States. I'm getting ready to take a day off from work and just visit some dealers. I really hate car shopping though so I want to narrow it down to a few models first, but this has to be one of them.

    VW Loyalty Incentives?

    I would consider this if they were also offering 0% financing . . . Have you heard anything about that? The current 60 month 0% financing offer on the GSW ends Oct. 31st. I'll bet they will introduce another one in November though.
