I have a 2005 Passat TDI wagon (5s manual!), which I deeply love. Runs great at 185K. I get tempted by newer models but, of course, am wary. |

Been looking for a wagon for my son to have and TDIs have started popping up at shadier places that deal with used cars from auctions. Not sure of how they got there, mainly 15s and I think I saw a 14. Seemed fishy for a bunch of reasons
Edit: just looked, several dealers are selling them too, pretty much all years. Wonder what is up? Myst be how VW is taking care of dealers. Odd Last edited by peanutgallery; 03-31-2018 at 05:50 AM. |

it's a software fix, once that is done, the vehicles are eligible to be resold.

True. And to expect companies to behave differently is folly. It’s nice when they do positive things but sheesh, the profit and growth motive is a helluva thing. |

Yeah, sometimes cheaper to pay the fine than do it the proper or legal way. Current climate appears to encourage evaluation of those equations, although that is hardly a new turn of events. Sometimes it doesn't work out well (early 70's Ford Pinto gas tanks).

Well, it certainly did not work out well in this particular case. They saved $300 per car; it's cost them billions in fines and settlements, and some execs have gone to prison.

Are you sure about that? There have been some criminal charges and indictments, but I haven't heard of any prison sentences.
