Of course I would look at those things if I were buying a used car. You are inserting "normal" here into an abnormal situation. I don't see VW having the abiltiy or manpower to consider condition on each of the cars.
And that is exactly what a flood of phone calls from my CR customers have inquired about today. Ironic, isn't it, that the EPA's pursuit of Volkswagen's emissions cheating will result Volkswagen paying for a bunch of people's emissions deletion equipment! LMAO!!!!
If you do not get compensated for this, I would begin legal proceedings against the Volkswagen corporation.
This:
That would be a shame. We'd all miss your insightful posts.
Dude I am having the same thoughts...do you think this is concrete enough to warrant garaging my 2009 which needs $2000+ of maintenance/tires? I just want something a bit more official before I "hope" I'm getting $10k+ back from this car to pay back on my new car?
It looks like those of us with the 3.0 TDI will be dealt with later:
You're right, I don't "have" to sell my car, but my option to "choose" to sell it has been made significantly more costly, due to the reduced value. Every other vehicle model owner has the freedom to trade in or sell their car/truck right now, with full market values coming their way. We TDI owners have not had that option without severe $ losses since September. I realize this sounds like whining, but they are the facts.
yup. two months before we even know what it is, let alone get any closer to receiving it. Meanwhile, fingers crossed nothing expensive breaks on my car. I'll be keeping all the receipts for sure.
Well.. I am not normally a gambler, but as of now, VW has announced that customers will be given the option of a "buyback + cash compensation" (source: check the last 10 pages for news links). If it were me, I would not be doing ANY additional maintenance (other than Fuel filter/oil changes) unless VW was paying for it or I was using the "dealer only" goodwill card.
