I originally had no intention of selling my '11 Jetta Sportwagen or getting the 'fix' if one became available. Actual I would have considered the 'fix' if not for the clause that if no fix was possible you had to sell it back (or at least that was my interpretation). I really love my car and just don't see anything on the market comparable for what they would give me. So I never completed the online settlement claim and just hoped to be left alone.
Coming home from work tonight I got tagged in the right rear pretty hard. Car still runs fine but rear suspension got torqued. Wheel still turns but slightly rubs the inner fender. I'm really hoping it can be fixed, but the tow truck/body guy said since it is an '11 they will total it.
So I guess the question is do you think I can still participate in the buyback and get a few more dollars than the insurance company will give me?
I did a quick search around, and it seems like some claim it just needs to drive under it's own power, which it does fine. I wouldn't try doing 60 down the road, it fact I don't think I would try driving more than a mile down the road.
Looking for thoughts of those with more experience with the program and with a clearer head (still a little shook up for the whole thing). BTW rear passenger window shattered and passenger side air bags went off.
Just trying to pull my options together before accepting anything from the insurance company.
If needs be I can go pick it up from the bodyshop with a trailer and bring it home. We have a spare vehicle, so can survive without a replacement for a period of time.
