    Just my luck.....no check!!

    Making It Right Just another example of VW "making it right". What a bunch of imbeciles - led by Matthias Muller, the biggest one of all! What is likely to be VW's last chance to win back a corp of, once enthusiastic & passionate, VW owners goes down as one more epic fail. We suffered enough...

    Any buybacks completed in CT?

    A no-show at buyback I completed the buyback on Dec 13 in Greenwich, CT. I was scheduled for a 10 AM appointment but the settlement specialist did not show up. After complaining bitterly to the sales manager, calls were made and the newbie specialists's trainer showed up an hour late and...

    Malone tune/ modified buyback

    No need to return to stock. The "Settlement Specialist" didn't even start the car - he had the valet pull it up. All he did was record the mileage on the odometer and he seemed as eager to complete the deal as I was.

    Parting thoughts

    Well it's history - my beloved 2012 A3 Sportback TDI was bought back on Tuesday. So after 4 & 1/2 years of daily driving, these are the car's strengths and weaknesses IMHO: -The Drivetrain - The TDI and DSG worked seamlessly together -The styling - classic sportback with sloped roof never goes...

    Free Winter Tires on Alloys for 2009-2013 A3

    Hi All, In the spirit of the holidays, I am feeling generous now that Audi is making good on their buyback pledge. Up for grabs are a set of 4 winter tires on alloys for FREE. So what's the catch you ask? 1. You will have to pick them up from my home in southern Westchester County, NY. 2. You...

    Audi Care - getting my money's worth

    Don't mean to rain on your parade - it is not the dealer, but Audi USA who would issue the refund. I have 64 K miles, so I could conceivably limit my driving and hold off on the 65 K (pre-paid) service. I contacted Audi and asked if they would issue a refund - the answer was "NICHT" - "Audi...

    Audi Care - getting my money's worth

    I just made an appointment for my pre-paid 65K maintenance service. The VW/Audi settlement made no mention of refunds of pre-paid service, so I might as well use it and avoid accusations later that the car was not properly maintained. If nothing else, it's a good opportunity to take a loaner...

    Am I the only one that is satisfied with the proposal?

    Stop the Insanity I am very happy with the terms of the settlement. Is it perfect? No. Is it fair? Yes. Will 90% of TDI owners, as is the goal cited by Ken Feinberg, accept its terms? I think so.

    A Thread is a Terrible Thing to Waste

    This is an open appeal to the admins of this forum from a veteran member: There has never been a time like this in the history of the TDI. The BIGGEST scandal in automotive history that directly impacted a group of enthusiasts has us all somewhat emotional.:D:mad::rolleyes::confused: Perhaps...

    Dieselgate: Volkswagen to Spend Up to $14.7 Billion to Settle ...

    Dealers are in the dark too I contacted my local (Audi) dealer and asked if I could use my A3 TDI and the buyback dollars as a "trade in" towards a new Audi. This would reduce my sales tax by ~ $2000 on the purchase of a new car. They told me that I was the "first one" to ask this question...

    The settlement as proposed is complete BS

    There are no winners VW takes a huge and unprecedented hit. Owners are upset. TDI is dead - there won't be a 2017, 2018, or any more in the future. Everyone unhappy = a good settlement

    What vehicle will you buy with your refund?

    Buy mine back ...well almost a "refund": I expect 26.5 K from the buyback, which will be my down payment on a 2017 Honda Ridgeline. :D I thought about going the modification route, but strongly believe that a fix won't be devised and I would have to wait until May 2018 to receive my...
