I bought it on June 25, arrived home on the 26th, and the settlement was approved on the 28th. I think that the PO bought a vergasser convertible. After purchasing the new 2015, I discovered that the PO removed the wind deflector as the mounts were installed in the trunk which were not

And he bought it 6 months after the scandal erupted, so it wasn't like they were compensating an unwitting victim of the emissions fraud. Then a month after Kevin bought it, VW announced the buyback. I bet the seller was kicking himself about then. Makes me wish I'd bought myself one for

Looks like Passat and 2 liter VW owners might be getting more options beyond a buyback: Saturday — U.S. and California regulators approved a fix for more Volkswagen cars caught up in the company's emissions cheating scandal, giving their owners an option to keep the vehicles instead of having

No, they are storing them somewhere to wait for the "fix", then will be sold, probably somewhere else in the world. On Tue, May 23, 2017 at 3:32 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Ah. Makes sense, though if they are just going to crush them it would > seem to make

Ah. Makes sense, though if they are just going to crush them it would seem to make sense to pull off the good bits, unless they do that or have Copart or some outfit part them out. --FT On 5/23/17 4:29 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: The dealers did care. The guy that tried doing it

The dealers did care. The guy that tried doing it got rejected and as a result of his shenanigans VWoA made some changes to the buyback program to prevent this sort of stupid stuff. -D > On May 23, 2017, at 4:25 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > Yeah that

Yeah that is a good deal. Do they crush them or what? I was reading about some people stripping them down, getting everything useful off the car and just dropping off the hulk with the engine, the dealer didn't seem to care. (did someone on the list post that?) THAT would be a good deal!

Sounds like a great deal, Kevin. My boss just did his buyback last week on the Jetta TDI he had. He took the money and bought a new Subaru. He said that the VW dealer personnel didn’t seem that interested in trying to get him to buy another VW, that they just did sort of a cursory, “Hey, you
