You forgot to use Italics and underline.... that's much more effective dont you thinkWhat?

Mainly because of the requirement of the car being driven to the buyback location under its own power. You can't have it towed in, so no engine or collision damage that makes it un-driveable. There's a far too large difference between what my insurance will pay me if the car is totaled vs. what VW is going to pay me. By not driving it, the chance of collision is greatly reducedWhat I don't understand is why people have parked their cars, in some cases for months. Or taken the additional step of purchasing another car with no actual verifiable timeline in place. At this point I can't wait to return this Passat, but it is a perfectly functioning automobile.
Mine is not a perfectly functioning automobile. With 86K miles on it, I have a leaking water pump, the NOx sensor is bad and I am getting a "200 mile to no start" adblue warning. Dealer is guessing I am looking at about $2200 in repairs... not happening.What I don't understand is why people have parked their cars, in some cases for months.

its this that makes vw look bad when japan made throw away economy box cars are busting 100k and even 200k when maintained properly without a single penny in repairsMine is not a perfectly functioning automobile.

If you watch the video that explains the process, the third party is clearly listed as a step.My car is paid for and I have not heard back in two weeks since submitting my notarized claim agreement. My claims portal doesn't say anything about a third party.
I have 290K miles on my 02 Golf, timing belts, brake pads, tires, repaired broken wire to alternator and a battery are about the only things I have done to it. I was hoping the Passat would be just as reliable but that has been far from the case.its this that makes vw look bad when japan made throw away economy box cars are busting 100k and even 200k when maintained properly without a single penny in repairs![]()
I'm not having too much faith in the process. I received the 10 business day message at the beginning of the month. Now my status has changed to:Same here. I'm now past my "10 business day" guarantee and still no response. I'm beyond aggravated with the process. Mine has been parked since April. Want this over with now.
No guarantees by parking it! A member here had his Passat parked at his house and a drunk driver in a SUV left the road striking the Passat - true story! Result - one totaled Passat which would not start / undriveable. And if car is in the garage and a fire starts chance car can be burned to a total crisp. Might as well drive it and enjoy it provided there are no continuing major issues with car not covered under warranty. In other words - drive more, worry less!By not driving it, the chance of collision is greatly reduced![]()
I'm returning my this Friday Dec 2nd. I'll post back with details about how it goes.
As an FYI to those still waiting to hear from VW... go check the claims portal to see if your status changed. Mine did even though I never received a notice. Also, search around all the dealers when your making your appointment. The dealers near me are only doing appointments one day a week and which day varies from dealer to dealer.
Definitely curious how this goes. One day a week hardly seems efficient but I guess that's par for the course with VW on this. Not a priority for them..I'm returning my this Friday Dec 2nd. I'll post back with details about how it goes.

My local dealer is a small dealership and is only processing buybacks on Friday afternoons. Which sucks as my wife only has Mondays off from work to pick me up at the dealership, which is 65 miles from my house.I would be very surprised if VWoA is only processing cars one day per week at all dealerships. No doubt the time allotted is based on TDI ownership regional density.
Given the penalties involved for delaying the process, I sincerely doubt it's, "...Not a priority for them..."
Unless you own a 2015 with a faulty adblue system..........What I don't understand is why people have parked their cars, in some cases for months.

Lucky for you. Mine has had 5 $1k plus repairs, all done under warranty. I didn't want to deal with the inconvenience of another issue, in addition to losing money for miles driven.What I don't understand is why people have parked their cars, in some cases for months.

Already fixed my AdBlue system and submitted for reimbursement.Unless you own a 2015 with a faulty adblue system..........
Lucky 13 owner.... They don't give a **** about 2015....Already fixed my AdBlue system and submitted for reimbursement.
Does calling actually move you up on the pile? Or is it a "pound of flesh" thing?I'm still waiting for them to provide me the final offer on my two cars. Since it's now Dec 1, they have passed the requirement of 20 business days significantly. Not sure I want to deal with their phone support again, but looks like I may have to. I'm getting very annoyed...
