Subject:      vw dealers refuse (conspiracy)

Sorry to hear that some VW dealers have come up with a ten year cutoff policy for service.

The dealers in my area (south San Francisco Bay Area) have no such restrictions that I'm aware of. Friends with older VW's have reported no problems, anyway. In fact I know of at least two dealers which still have the "Vintage Club" at their service departments- owners of older cars (10+ years, I think) get a break on parts and maybe service.

When I get a chance I'll call the VW customer relations 800 number and find out what, if anything, VWoA has to *say* about this.

Let's hope it's just some dealers being buttheads....
