why was my thread deleted?

The window for them to release the "fix" is November '16 and October '17, according to one article I read. Given how this has gone so far I figure they will announce it sometime in late October of '17, then it has to be approved. By that time most who have early generation cars will have sold them and be onto something different, and not a VW. It seems that are playing more of a waiting game then working to fix the sisituation. I can only hope the future fines surpass the 20 billion threshold and someone learns something from this, but corporate greed seldom does. .. Vent over..

if everything is approved based on current schedule dates "fall" is when buybacks will start. there is no scheduled date as of now for when they are required to announce a fix

well all the details of the buyback have been announced. now just pending until judge approves july 28th and then probably Oct before anything starts happening

based on the numbers I would pocket over $6,600 with fix and pocket $4K with buyback

looks like I will go fix, which includes an extended warranty as well, pocket the extra money and life goes on

get my 4runner another year it seems

Where are you getting those numbers?

Latest I've seen is that no fix has been announced, owners will get a buy-back offer for 08/15 value, and 5,100-10k in compensation.

also, they are giving you trade in value of your vehicle which is drastically lower. 

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/cases/att._1a_-_buyback_modification_table.pdf

go there, find your year/model/region and add/deduct for options

column one is the buyback and it includes the compensation

column two is if you opt for trade

after you have that number go here

https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/refunds/volkswagen-settlement

choose which model you have then find the year and add/deduct mileage from the number you got from chart one

that determines what you would receive in a buyback and what you would receive with a fix (and a fix has not been announced and you do not get paid until after the fix has been implemented on your vehicle)

if you have a loan remaining on your car and you choose the buyback take that number of buyback and subtract the amount you owe on loan. that is how much money you pocket

Also, keep this in mind:

"if your car is totaled after June 28, 2016, but before the opt-out date (September 16, 2016), you are excluded from the settlement class and reserve your rights and claims against the Volkswagen entities."

Is your loan why yours is only 2k? I ran my numbers and I'm looking at nearly 20k for my buyback. My car is nearly paid off, though.

I did not word that correctly

as it sits with current offer my buyback is over $24K. I have only had my car just over a year and I owe just under $20k on it

What I was saying above is I wish they would offer retail pricing instead of trade in. That would give me another 2K in pocket, so the buyback for my car would be over $26k

But since they are offering trade in + compensation it is not worth the money to me. 

So I will take the fix more than likely and pocket over $6,600
