I had a Jetta that had a strange problem a few years back. The VW dealer called and asked me if it’s ok if they drove the car home and it wasn’t far from the dealer and I said yes. My buy back should go through early next week, I did tell the person handling the buy back about and I told her I was pissed that this guy took my car to a grocery store and a bunch of other places. I’m so picky with my cars and I always park it in a safe place. She agreed with me and I told her if they contacted me and asked it would have a different outcome. She did contact the dealer and told them to park it, until this is resolved.

No worries… Sounds like it’s finally going to get resolved for you.

Yes it will be resolved soon, but I won’t have a Mini. I really don’t trust the dealer after what happened. At this point even if they found the problem I wouldn’t take it back. The car has been there just about 6 weeks and I wonder how many other people drove the car.

It looks like it sold at an auction the end of January. It had a salvage title and I wonder if the person who bought is on this site?
