Missing is a condition, since it could have rusted off and fallen to the ground, something being on the car or not on the car is condition.
The only thing waived is the early terminations fees. All other lease conditions apply, including turn-in fees as well (usually charged if you don't buy/lease another car at the time of turn in, regardless of the turn-in reason).
2.50. “Operable” means a vehicle that can be driven under its own 2.0-liter TDI engine
I did not leave my car, had to re-schedule. Do not trust VW at all.
Ok, great. And I've read, in this thread, and different locations use different statements about 'driven under it's own power'. As in: forward and reverse? Able do turn both directions? Go in a circle? Which is it? I know it was driven onto, and off of, the flatbed. All I want is someone who can actually commit to it, to SAY SO.
No, I'm expressing serious frustration at VW, who doesn't seem to be willing to say it either. Neither at the no-help line, or from anyone who will answer a phone at a dealer (including the "buyback ambassador"). What's difficult about saying....or putting on the non-useful FAQ..."here's what operable means". It's almost as much fun as getting a "what's covered" question answered by a medical insurance agent.
You REALLY need to just contact the attorneys for the plaintiffs in this case. They will gladly talk to you about it and give you their opinion which will carry far more weight than anyone's on here. VW isn't going to tell you you can or can't do something because the only people they've made available to ask are minimum wage call center folks who answer basic questions from a script. Call or email the lawyers.
I see you're from Asheville - I lived in Waynesville for 10 years prior to moving to Greensboro.
Should produce as much of stink as this whole process has been.I got a response from "Ajay" at the lawyer's office, and the answer is, no matter what some mechanic at the dealer service shop tells you, is that the engine has to start and run, and the vehicle has to move under it's own power. Driving in circles, multiple turns, driving on the highway at speed, etc etc does not apply. And he gave me his phone number and extension in case I get a hassle.
I recall Jack Lemmon throwing a fish in the back of Walter Matthou's car in Grumpy Old Men....hummmmmm
Because you don't like the line employees who have to deal with these cars? I can guarantee you that the VW execs won't even hear about this. It's like yelling at front line employees anywhere: all it does is make their job worse and you get nothing for it.
Like yelling at the guy at the fuel station about how Exxon is bad? Or the checker at Walmart that they are destroying American jobs?
I am thinking about running mine through a cheapie carwash before turn in. I sort of want to pick off all of the acorns and leaves as well.
Claim it on insurance and get a check cut.
Someone rear ended me on the highway at the end of October. Fortunately it was at very low speed and there really isn't any damage. I parked the car two days later and bought something else. Not running that risk again. Of course, now that I'm making double payments I'm getting a little anxious. Silly me, I thought 45 days from doc acceptance would have been enough time to resolve.
So next year my premium goes up? No thanks....
