The VW group has bought back from the fire of Anger, a seven-year-old used vehicle. To the original price - and at the end a lot of it laid.

Lenggries–The fire of Anger in need of a new vehicle. Why this is so – the story is somewhat curious. As reported, it was for the 2013 purchased Crafter at the beginning of the year, a recall from VW. It went to the repair of a defective component, but a complete buy-back of the carrying capacity syringe vehicle shown prior to the acquisition by the municipality at the fairs and on the Internet offered for sale had been.

In the context of internal Reviews have found that in a certain period of time vehicles were sold, "in which the construction may not have suited the Marketing of the then-current series," reads the Letter from VW to the municipality of Lenggries. In the case of use of vehicle, you could not understand "beyond doubt whether the limitations of individual systems could be". For more information, it was not – despite persistent demand of the community.

in February, the vehicle was put out of service

VW offered for the seven-year-old emergency vehicle, the full 2013 price paid, i.e. nearly 89 000 Euro. In February, the Council had decided to close the buyback offer, as Treasurer, Michael cried a Little in the recent Council meeting in memory. In February, the vehicle was decommissioned.

In the meantime, ran but once again negotiations with VW. The fire Department would like to retain the entire structure, "because he is simply 100 percent of what you need," says Little. In fact, VW have agreed that the probe can go up buildings are dismantled and only the chassis is returned, it must be. In addition, the group have put thanks to the skillful post-action by the commander of 10 000 euros to the price you paid for it, so Little.

For the purchase of the vehicle there are now two possibilities. Option 1: The municipality buys a DIN-compliant new vehicles. There could be grants. However, the vehicle must not weigh more than 4.75 tons. "The old car had but five tons," explained Little bit of the Problem. The cost that the municipality, after deduction of the subsidy and of the VW amount would have been here to shoulder: around 25 000 Euro.
