This is how it goes...

Get letter signed... and get it uploaded again... then they approve it and you schedule a turn in date.

I need 2-3 weeks to get all my shit lined up... I still haven't found my replacement vehicle

Also if i PARK the TDI. The payback amount will go UP in value because they will retroactively back date 12,500 miles a year from turn in date to 9/2015. And use that as the mileage to calculate the cars value... :geek:

Hory funk! How much more is there LOL - http://www.wsj.com/articles/volkswagen- ... 1478429066

BERLIN—Regulators in California recently discovered software installed on some of Volkswagen AG’s Audi models that appears to have allowed the cars to cheat carbon-dioxide emissions testing standards, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Audi software was designed to mask emissions implicated in global warming, instead of smog as in the Volkswagen emissions-cheating scandal that erupted last year, the people said.

The newly discovered software was detected four months ago during laboratory tests by the California Air Resources Board, one of the people said. Neither Volkswagen nor U.S. regulators have publicly disclosed the discovery.

Officials at CARB, which has been heavily involved in a continuing U.S. probe of Volkswagen engines, didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Audi, Volkswagen’s luxury-car unit, declined to comment, citing the Justice Department investigation into the Volkswagen scandal, which broke more than a year ago when U.S. environmental authorities disclosed that the German auto maker used illegal software on many of its diesel-engine models to cheat emissions testing for nitrogen oxides.

It isn’t clear how seriously officials in California and federal officials in Washington view the latest discovery, or whether Volkswagen, under intense regulatory scrutiny around the world, had identified it privately to regulators.

Whatever the case, the discovery threatens fresh anger from officials, investors and car owners just as Volkswagen is wrapping up billions of dollars in settlements with states and owners of diesel-powered vehicles in the U.S. and a recall of nearly nine million tainted diesel vehicles in Europe.

Volkswagen’s previously disclosed “defeat device” software was used on Volkswagen and Audi diesel engines to make it appear that they complied with emission standards for nitrogen oxides during lab tests.

The newly discovered software, installed on Audis with both diesel and gasoline engines, did the same with CO 2 emissions standards in the U.S. and Europe, according to the people familiar with the matter.

I went to a vw dealer and so far my suspicion has been confirmed, the deals on VW's are done for the forseeable future.

This :dillerman: bragged that 1200 ppl registered to get their cars bought back there, while the other :dillerman: corrected him and said 1500!!!
1500 talking wallets equipped with double the cash their cars are worth!
When i asked if they will have special incentives for tdi owners the response was
"VW is compensating you wholesomely, we don't expect to have anything on top of that "
As expected ...

I mean it's like $19k in your pocket for the TurDI right? That's about $10k more than you should get on a trade. So if you get zero off a GTI, which you can usually :crang: $4-5k out of.... you're still making out by a solid $5 large.

I don't see the problem.

That's not how the math works... if they screw the pooch on the sticker prices now that doesn't mean I'm coming out on top. SEs has 5k on the hood all year, that means I'm 5k in the hole if i buy it, besides at that point an R makes sense at sticker, but that ain't gonna happen either
