    Tax consequences of buyback?

    Just sold back our '11 Golf TDI. The buyback representative suggested we speak with a tax lawyer on how to claim the $5771.73 restitution payment. So is this Capital Gains, income, how does it get categorized on taxes? Did anyone bother filing this money on their taxes?

    Diesel fuel

    The owner's manual is very specific about using only low sulfur diesel and biodiesel not exceeding 5% bio. Sometimes on long distance trips, truck fueling stations only offer 20% biodiesel when we need fuel. How serious are these warnings? We'd like to take our GSW to Mexico this winter. Mexico...

    Bosch Settlement email

    My experience with Class Action lawsuits is that the "up to $350" means we'll be very fortunate to receive $3.50. Lawyers love class action lawsuits. When they copy a file they can and will charge $10/ page. They will consume at least 75% of the settlement

    New Diesel Anyone?

    We just bought a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel. Not new, but it is replacing a F250 4x4 power stroke diesel. We don't need a truck anymore, but still need 4x4. Gets about 10-15 mpg better than the truck. Our entire driving fleet is diesel, as is the tractor and standby genset.

    Is any one keeping their TDI

    Keeping the 2011 Golf with 68K miles. Nothing compares and we like everything. Also have a 2004 Passat wagon TDI, 190K and counting. If VW comes up with a fix we are doing it, if not we have 2 more years to find the terms EPA gives us.

    04 Passat wagon tail lights

    My LH tail light has a tiny crack. Didn't believe it was a problem but now that AZ monsoon season has arrived it's collecting water. Any source for replacement lenses? Would the wrap kits work at keeping dust and water out? Thanks.
