Agreed, Infiniti finally listened to their customers. I had three of them over the years before they became a bit boring. Now, in twin turbo V6 + AWD form with an awesome infotainment system, I'm really happy. Car comes stock with LED headlights and foglights, my days of modding lighting are...

+1 VR6Ghost. YMMV, but I'm not sure how anyone can drive this car with the halogens. They are downright terrible. The first thing I did to my B7 a month after getting it was a DAK HID kit for it. Night and day difference. Coming from other cars with HIDs, I couldn't step back down. Did a lot of...

Tell you what we can do to put an end to this, call any buyback specialist and ask them "if you can can cancel your insurance policy once you sign the power of attorney form, hand over the keys and return the plates to the DMV." Ask them what their guidance from VW is. I guarantee you, they will...

This is how you will feel.

+1 Why volunteer any info to start additional scrutiny on your claim? I'm not advocating any theft or stripping, but there's a certain point where volunteering certain info can hurt you more.

It was always VIN. NYPD would maintain it in their database at not charge. I can only speak for NYC. See URL below. I'm surprised to see NYPD still running the CAT program, but essentially it was sticker that I had stating they could stop you between 1 - 5 am, to check the occupant of the...

I grew up in Hunts Point in the 70s'-80s when the crack epidemic was taking hold in the Bronx. Moved to Newark for work (yes I'm crazy) and then came back home to the Bronx. I've seen the worst of the car stripping game you can imagine in the inner city. When they got bored of stripping cars...

People still do window etching? It was a big thing out here in the boroughs, especially the area I live in, in the mid to late 90s when vehicle stripping was hot and heavy in the Bronx. You could take your car into any police precinct and they'd do it for a couple of bucks.

Don't even worry about it any lights you have coming on the dash. My TPMS light was on, headlight bulb out, DRL bulb out (converted to all LEDs and HIDS). Buyback handler, she started the car, looked around inside, looked in the trunk, opened up glovebox and other storage areas -- she was more...

Yes, more and more cars are coming with them stock. My 2017 Q50 3.0T has a full LED front stock (there is no HID option), it's nice looking and functionaly, from the 7.5W "cat eye" DRLs, the 23 watt LED headlights and the 13.5 watt LED foglights along with LED tails, LED mirror shell turn signal...

Once a business takes care, custody and control of your vehicle (which in this case VW is), they are 100% responsible for its safety. Even if the business took reasonable care, if your car is damaged, it is their insurance, not yours, that you can have process the claim and pay to fix it. Did...

Ecstatic! Moving into a VW Passat was a step down from my previous cars I owned. Put the money in the bank and ended up leasing a Q50 3.0T Premium for the same payment as the Passat. What drove me to the Passat was the fuel economy and needing to commute 60 miles round trip. It fit the bill...

You said LEGALLY and FINANCIALLY responsible. Big differences. Financially, yes. Legally, NO. Their document very clearly says that on the date of signing, "I no longer have possession of or any interest in the referenced vehicle." I no longer HAVE POSSESSION. Not my car anymore. I don't...

Same here. If it's wrecked in VW's possession, that's their problem. They have my title, it's no longer my car.

You're an astute man bizzle, very astute :). Buy back process is officially done.

Sorry to hear that -- sounds like you got triggered into an exception process that they had poor handling for.

If VW accepts your car at the dealership, you *will* get a receipt/printout in hand before leaving. If not, ask for one. The VW/Audi Closer App software they are using will print out a receipt with a UNIQUE URL at the bottom of the page, which is evidence onto itself that it was something that...

You get a receipt before leaving the dealership. Then there is one emailed to you. I've made purchases 3x larger than this where I just obtained a receipt and then goods were delivered. Same deal. This is all fear mongering.

I'm not endorsing it -- I'm actually looking at doing more stuff with my Amazon Prime music account, which is $99 a year and I get a ton of playlists.

You're not far off. In my neck of the woods, they will strip your car for free :D I did turn my Passat in yesterday, with everything intact and you know what, that doesn't make any better than the dude that wants a jack or something minor for his other car. I don't play that morality game...
