Hopefully I get the rate locked in for the whole process. They did the financial stuff and everything is approved already. I should check maybe.
My financing rate went up 2% during paintgate. I used my credit union instead.
Thankfully it hasn't budged to date. 1.49% is a great rate from the OEM.

July 1st!! Finally a date for my buy back. This is kinda ridiculous. I'm not sure why I have to wait so long now that I've got the entire process completed and approved. The trade in literally takes 15 minutes. Both the dealer and I are anxious to get a move on.

I swear some Nazi bean counter sat down and calculated how much money they will save per month if they drag out the buy back process due to statistical write offs/accidents/motor failures etc. This can't be incompetence.Image

:notbad: call from RicePoint (the sloths handling VW claims in Canuckia) who say that I selected a national holiday for my trade in. It was the first day available on their calendar so I took it anyways. Apparently they don't work holidays so the girl who called me switched me to an earlier time slot on the 26th of June which wasn't an option otherwise. :fuckyeah:

Also, she sounded hot and giggled a lot when we spoke, then personally assured me that she would handle my account. :fuckyeah:

She can handle my account any time she likes. :fuckyeah:

They can cry me a river. They were practically begging me to come in and test drive stuff, and locked me in on Feb 28th of all miserable :dillerman: days. I think they get killer financing deals on their stock because I'll only be on the hook for 1.49% from VWoC

I'm glad though, the MK7.5 is in being ordered with no significant deals to be had, and I'm sure that by now all of the Lapiz blue MK7 units have been sold. Also, I really don't think I like the one dimensional, non-customizable lcd screen that replaces the gayges. A seventh gear in the DSG unit is probably the only thing I wish mine came with for fuel economy, but is only available on the newest release.

Also, the front end of the refreshed Golf R is :disgust:

I like it better on the GTI for some reason. I think it's the GTI headlights that make it :jimp:

EPA approves long-awaited fix for Volkswagen diesel cars
:mindblown: they actually did it...
The approved repairs cover about 326,000 vehicles, or 98% of the 2-liter diesels, and will restore the cars to normal emissions performance.
After the fix, average fuel economy per vehicle will fall by up to 2 miles per gallon, VW spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan said in an email.VW said the fix involves a mix of hardware improvements and software changes. The company had struggled to find a fix for nearly two years because in some cases there was not enough space for the hardware required to bring the vehicles into compliance.

Ones that were neglected by their prior owners for 18 months before turn in... yep... so it seems. Someone would have to do some serious Cost benefit analysis if it is worth it :doe:

Hmm. I'd consider a 5-figure TDI JSW as a Vibe replacement.

Get a tune and full emissions deletes and :fuckyeah:

You mean 4 figure? 5 figures is way too much.

I'd essentially be willing to pay about the same for a TDI as an equivalent 2.5 car.
