Thinking more about it, what price tag does one put on happiness? Its not worth fretting over. Given the incentives currently offered by VW, you could very well get a nice deal on a new car. Used cars all depreciate so the trade in value should not be of concern. They all depreciate. Say the current trade in value is 9 or 10% less due to this crises, BFD. Like I say, what is happiness worth? In addition, the VW dealer will keep the TDI until the retrofit comes out, then get paid by VW for his installation (so he will make some money off it) - then sell it as an updated TDI with an extended warranty at a good price to a buyer. Everyone is different but I wouldn't waste my time agonizing and waiting for a ship to come in that will likely never make it. Verdict: Visit your VW dealer tomorrow, and drive a new one home - with a smile. I'd rather have a gas one anyway. Let others do the agonizing, spit'n and bitch'in, and waiting for a ship (monetary settlement from VW or a hip lawyer) that will likely never come in. You come out ahead, and VW comes out ahead because they have maintained you as a customer. In fact this protocol (trading yours in) is probably the desired protocol in their eyes.

I don't have time to visit the dealer, they are 45 minutes away. I want to start with VWoA. They have the leverage to work with the dealer. I can get $5K+ off MSRP right now with loyalty cash. What I am concerned about is the $5K+ of trade in value that I have currently lost in the last month because of their deceit. I don't want revenge. I don't want a buyback. I even want to replace it with a new VW. I just want to be made whole. I specifically ordered one of the last JSW's off the line (which shut down a month later) to avoid Adblue. I think I have a compelling case.

That $5k of lost trade in value figure sounds a bit hypothetical to me, or speculation so to speak. But it could be close if your vehicle is close to new. Anyway, good luck with your decision.

Yea, so they're going to make an extra 500k of them to take care of TDI owners?

WASHINGTON Federal and California regulators have begun an investigation into a second computer program in Volkswagenç—´ diesel cars that also affects the operation of the cars emission controls.
Volkswagen said that it had withdrawn 2016 models of its diesel cars from environmental certification in the United States because the company should have disclosed the software and sought regulators approval before installing it, but had not done so. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/10/09...l-hearing.html |

And . . . it also varies from user to user within a single forum. I have my option here on the Paceline set to display 40 posts per page (the maximum), so this thread only shows up on my screen as just now hitting its 20th page. But at 790 posts, if I changed to displaying only 5 posts per page (the minimum), we would be at 158 pages, and you could have celebrated several times over! (Which is why references to "see page X" frustrate me! Tell me the post number you are referencing.) |

If a VW diesel owner wants to accept the $2,000 credit toward a new VW will a VW dealer take the old car in trade since VW of NA has prohibited them from selling them as used cars?

They have only prohibited them from selling CPO, not used.

Your logic is irrefutable. Three single malts it is!
