My vw credit loan hasn't been paid either. Turn in date was 1/20, 2/3 payment didn't go out. I'm not giving them any money. There was plenty of time to sort this out and I had my money in 2 days. I'm planning to file a claim against the loan if it isn't gone at the end of the month. My paperwork says it's paid and not my problem. *shrug*

Also, vw credit customer service is a joke. I have called 5 times and waited on hold for a total of 2 hours. All calls were disconnected "accidently" before speaking to anyone. I sent a secure message two days ago and crickets. They really are fubaring this whole thing. Never again vw.

Got the email yesterday about 3.0 settlements.

Still waiting on our Jetta date to get here as well.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one to Flavortown, and that has made all the difference.


Just dropped off my TDI. No problems even with my broken window. They didn't even say anything about the fact that the whole back seat was covered in broken glass. In and out in 15 minutes.

Nice. We are under the two week mark for our return. Bought a new car on Sunday, because it just was cutting it too close. The transmission on our TDI is super finicky now. It'll sit in the garage, with the occasional start, safe from harm's way.

And did you have two sets of keys? I managed to find our spare, but I wondered if anyone had an issue with that? I thought the paperwork requested two sets, but how can you even demand something like that?

Yeah, I had both of the remotes plus the regular key. But based on the reaction of the girl that was handling the paperwork I would guess most people just brought one set. She never asked for them. I handed them over after all the paperwork was signed.

I got one as well. My reading was that if I had completed the vehicle turn in, I was automatically registered and needed to do nothing.

I finally completed my turn in last week.

Easy painless and quick.

Only issue that I ran into is that the payout to my loan is different to what I owe so I have to wait for the loan company to refund me the $2500 or so.

Im sure the dealer has a shuttle service you could use but the turn in people could care less.

I heard the salesmen will snag you a la Planet of the Apes if they see you walking off the lot after turning in your TDI.

My dealership offered their shuttle service to me after my drop off. I'd just call the dealership to double check, but I"m sure they'll be willing to offer you standard services like that. Just don't expect them to be your personal Uber service.

Yeah, I'll just need a ride home. I can shove a bike in the car and then show up in my biking kit and ride home if necessary since it's supposed to be nice tomorrow. Would make the turn in more fun if I was wearing spandex.

I'd consider this if they got me out of the GTI lease penalty free. Considering the amount of work it needs to be whole I don't see that happening.

e: Goodbye TDI. You were a good car. I'll enjoy the extra $17k in my checking account though. They didn't even try to sell me a car either. What a bunch of fools.

It'll be typical class action, $5 million settlement, with $4.5 million going to the legal team.

Has anyone done the closing appointment with one co-owner not present? It sounds like I'll need to obtain some kind of power of attorney from the other owner, but the phrasing of the one linked on the claims portal makes me unsure of whether having my co-owner sign and notarize then mail it to me it will be enough. It doesn't really have a place to notarize other than the one "for internal use only" so I also wouldn't know where to tell the co-owner to sign. I'm in Illinois if it makes a difference.

This is the form I'm looking at: https://claims.vwgoa.com/resources/forms/VW_Title_Power_Of_Attorney.pdf
Illinois power of attorney form: https://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/publications/pdf_publications/rt5.pdf - I was thinking about getting this one signed and bringing it in as well because it makes a lot more sense to me

Got mine pretty quick. I need to talk to the bank my loan is through because I'm pretty sure they'll owe me money. Especially since $200 is getting deducted from me every pay period because I keep forgetting to change it.

Yeah I had to call mine too about that. It took extra time since it was a large amount.

I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
Can't wait for them to finish the 3.0 so I can dump this thing. I am doing my best to avoid any maintenance and just stretch it out. Pretty sure there's a leak in the Ad Blue tank and the electronics need a lot of love but I just don't care. Still not sure what to replace it with but have been considering a BMW diesel with the xdrive or a Subaru.

Do you know when things will get rolling?

I know May 1st was the deadline to register as a former owner, but past that the documentation says May 2017 for further action.
