Bosch Dieselgate Settlement - W00t!

Thanks, Bosch! We really appreciate the extra money. It has provided us with two new VHF Tri-band transceivers, small whip antennas, a new dive watch, and a few lunches and dinners this week!

We also look forward to more than $2,000 next year for our Phase 2 Emissions Modification payment!

And just today, we received our Phase II emissions modification letter:

 

And, not long after, we have finally received the last third of our payment from VW! This means that we have received more than $7,000 back on our purchase and that we acquired a 2015 VW diesel station wagon for $18,500 new - truly a wonderful deal!

We're going to drive the wheels off our wagen - it will just start to break in at the 50,000-mile mark, and many owners get more than 200,000 miles out of their vehicles.
