Dear Gordon from Claremont, I would take the deal that your good friend Dr. Bill took. He got a new car for a small outlay. If you get the fix you will still a have an old car with all the problems of an old car. I think you are still in denial. Direct your anger at the cheats from Volkswagen. Stop  supporting their brand. Take all you can get from them. I expect I will hear from you on this.
