Simple question, does anybody know of a time limit to sign up for the goodwill package? I would like to hold off on doing anything. I hope it just fades away and they don't do anything.
I'm planning to use the $500 dealer credit (valid for 1 year) during my 50k and 60k service. Waiting until March will make it work.I would sign up ASAP. Why would you want to wait?

Not signing up isn't going to make this fade away into the abyss. The only thing that is going to happen is you're going to miss out on $1,000. The goodwill package is no-strings-attached. Signing up for it does not obligate you to anything in the future. You could accept the package and still ignore the recall if that's what you want to do.Simple question, does anybody know of a time limit to sign up for the goodwill package?

Please clarify. Several other members have had attorneys review the information and give the program a green light.My attorney said NOT to take the package. There is one sentence that set her off! Something about not being able to collect later, IF I understood her correctly!
I read the fine print. IMHO (I am not an attorney, but I fancy I understood it), it creates no obligation on my part, nor do I "sign anything away" by taking the goodwill offer. This issue was covered extensively in this forum last Fall when the goodwill program was announced. Not taking the goodwill offer is flushing $1K down the porcelain birdbath.My attorney said NOT to take the package. There is one sentence that set her off!

You need a new attorney.......My attorney said NOT to take the package. There is one sentence that set her off! Something about not being able to collect later, IF I understood her correctly!
Ya, if you call VW customer care their recording specifically states that accepting the gift doesn't bind you to anything else. Since they're recording the call, you should too.You need a new attorney.......

Seriously, she is (apparently) not competent counsel - you should have major reservations about relying on her advice.My attorney said NOT to take the package. There is one sentence that set her off! Something about not being able to collect later, IF I understood her correctly!
I think when www.vwdieselinfo.com first went up, it has something like "by accepting the package you agree to future terms and conditions to be decided at a later date"Please clarify. Several other members have had attorneys review the information and give the program a green light.
Great - Amy Williams-Derry, another attorney whose advice I would avoid like the plague.But there is also concern how binding the cardholder agreement is:
