It's $10.

I'm ready to buy that certain green E36 ASAP. Just waiting on a certain someone to finish doing what they're doing to it.

I also called the dealer to schedule to have my head unit screen replaced and have them look into the LED light flicker/speaker rattle, and kicked and screamed until I got a loaner. (Actually, I just asked nicely and they said "okay, you just have to wait until December"). So December 11th, hopefully the car will be almost back to not being broken and shitty, at least for a little bit.

"Mr. Johnson, I don't remember talking about a loaner with you. Both are unavailable."

I'm sitting at the dealership right now plotting how I'm going to burn it down.

You need to start calling corporate. VW likely has a national account with a rental company like Enterprise. Dealers don't like to do this but they can get you a loaner. Go above their heads. Call corporate and have your paperwork lined up and show them how often you've been to the dealer and the poor level of service.

Also make sure the loaner is available before you show up next time. Rookie mistake.

After a half hour wait at the dealer, they found an outback for me. They'll survive for now.

I'd still report them, somehow, to VW corporate. They're yanking you around on warranty repair to a brand-new car. Not cool.

Hell, you don't even need to call. you can walk up to the front door in Herndon. VWoA should be able to do something if you really need them to considering their current public situation and the fact that NoVA is their HQ home.

Ha that company is a hot mess man. I thought the Germans were generally on top of things. I still stand by my belief that they make great cars to lease, awful cars to own

its just like diesel-gate...VW will take shady measures as far as they possibly can before they think the repercussions aren't worth it. guaranteed there were plenty of people that knew it was happening and just filed it under "stuff i'll care about some other day". you can do that when you're made of money and have like 10 other brands to hedge your corporate apathy
