Pretty much. All nicely approved as proposed. Lawyers are happy, the government too. Owners...??? I imagine the settlement website will crash early on the 28, with the avalanche of pissed off TDI owners trying to submit their claims...the joy!
my issue is, that 5000 x 15% tax loss (HST) is $450 bucks,, so no mention of that loss we face ..and add the $300 admin fee the new car will want, plus the $100 air conditioning tax for the new car. it kinda takes the shine off the sorry cheque..
Until "at least Sep 1, 2018". Per the settlement docs.
It's been heard, but the judge decided to ignore it.
Not a smoke screen, but rather normal legal proceedings necessary for such case. People tend to think it's a smoke screen, because the judge approved the settlement as proposed by the negotiating parties, without improving the buyback amounts on any way.
Yeah! Just a few Grand.
Not entirely, if you read the court document itself
It seems that the Judge has just said it is fair. When did he say it was not?
Of course they were taken into consideration; that is why the Judge took two weeks to review them. In the end, this is a class action settlement. A settlement means a compromise from both parties.
Yes, this was stated in the first release of the proposed settlement last December.
Read the VW news release. The Quebec court has also approved the settlement.
@PlaneCrazy: In your best Five Man Electrical Band voice: "You're absolutely right..."
I am among those who agree. I think it's fair. We're getting a brand-new wagon out of the deal, for $3k plus taxes and delivery, and that's just based on MSRP without any incentives. I'm pretty sure VW will try to get us back into the showroom. So the actual amount for our new car might be quite small. Brand-new car, with no payments, warranty reset to zero, newer generation so base model better equipped than our previous generation Comfortline, what's not to like? I think it was never realistic to think that VW would give a full refund.
Same here
You bet we do! Otherwise we would've all gone insane a long time ago.Our local dealership pretty much had every square inch stuffed with product when I was there earlier today.
Good to see the people behind the Facebook page still have a sense of humour.
Looks to me the only way to find out the real value is to get an appointment after April 28th and have the 20 day value assessed. But like you I am looking to find out before I go in.
I went to the CBB website and got this value:
I had a sense this might happen and back in January when the then-proposed settlement was tabled my wife and I had a little parley, since it will be her car. I told her if she wanted a manual wagon in her colour choice, it would be best to order sooner rather than later.
