Just did a quick check on Ebay, I can get both airbags, replacement steering cover, and passenger bag cover for around $250.00... Let's see how this plays out.... I know Kelly Blue Book value for the car is between $4200 - $5400 depending on the condition of the car.... If they go with refurbished parts, I don't see more than $1000 damage....Keeping my fingers crossed that this law doesn't apply to older vehicles ( jetta is a 2000 model with no rust and around 70,000 km... worth keeping !!! )
