TDI wagons (2015) are getting modified and available now (see thread named "Should I buy?").Spoke to a dealer this morning. They have not been released yet and they have no indication of when they might be.

Not an Audi, but the JSW TDI is LOADED. And $5000 of MSRP, no less, and when they are gone... unicorn.
It is a TDI. Last of a venerable bloodline. It is an exceptional vehicle, with an incredible array of features. And this is the last one you will see in the USA, period.$5000 off a 2015 ,I have a bridge to sell you. What a rip! That will be an instant 15K loss for the lucky buyers. LOL unreal.
There was one on the local dealer lot. Silver with Brown interior, DSG Primium Plus w/ Convenience and Driver packages. It was there til this last Monday; sticker is $39K, I'd buy it for 10K off sticker, dealer is not cooperating ... fine by me.I know this is the General VW discussion thread, I didn't see anything specific to Audi. Anyway, does anyone know if the Audi A3 TDI's were released to be sold?
Nope!So. You don't think buying a 2015 new tdi for 5,000 off is worth it, how so?
No. A3 TDI is a four door sedan.Do they make an Audi A3 wagon?
Because we talk truth here. Enthusiasts can talk realistically. Do we swear an oath of blind allegiance for loving TDI?It is a TDI. Last of a venerable bloodline. It is an exceptional vehicle, with an incredible array of features. And this is the last one you will see in the USA, period.
Don't buy it if you don't want to. Why are you posting on this website?
I know I'm talking VW on the Audi thread, but the stories are pretty much the same no matter the brand.Nope!
A vehicle that will require additional equipment mods from the exhaust manifold to tailpipe with unknown performance changes?
Retain value? Lol... when the returned vehicles are modded and put on the market, there will be a glut.
The TDI brand has been damaged. Citing past resale values and trends is not valid.

The 2015's have been approved for the fix and are already being sold again. Or was the 2015 A3 not included with the VW's?Spoke to a dealer this morning. They have not been released yet and they have no indication of when they might be.

Care to share the price?I bought a "new" 2015 A3 TDI on April 28 at an Audi Dealership in Toronto - it had 87km on it.
The court settlement required fix or DESTRUCTION. They cannot be sold offshore.I know I'm talking VW on the Audi thread, but the stories are pretty much the same no matter the brand.
As far as being a glut-- Word has it that the pre-AD BLUE models are proving too expensive to repair, and those buy-back cars that didnt have the Adblue system are headed offshore to be sold as they are currently configured. South America, Australia and Asia are about to be flooded with them.
Here in North America we can look forward to having very few diesels available. The ones that will remain will be the 2015's, and the prior year ones where people opt out of the fix. Any that are registered for repair will eventually be given a choice between keeping it as is or selling it back. I dont see a fix happening on vehicles not currently equipped with Ad Blue.
That's my unofficial opinion of what I've been hearing talking to a few Vw engineers I know. No one I've spoken with sees any news about a viable, cost-effective fix.
The value should hold pretty strong. KBB and NADA have already made concessions about the "New" 2015 TDI's, I'm sure with Audi they are or will be doing the same. Showing them as 0-1 year old cars, even 3 years on.
Vw went diesel-less 2x that I remember. From 93-99 and sometime around 2005 for about a year or so. I dont see them coming back for at least 5-6 years minimum, if at all.
We can debate all we want, but those who like the TDI they will see a value in them. Those who dont cant be persuaded.
All I know is supply is limited, and there are no more once these are snapped up.
I'll roll the dice, and keep these as long as they are viable to keep. I've driven TDI's and diesel VW non-TDI's since 83 and average at least 350-400k on them before I sell. IMO- you can't beat them.
Where is edit on taptalk!! Lol. I hit enter too fast.I know I'm talking VW on the Audi thread, but the stories are pretty much the same no matter the brand.

We are talking about A3 TDIs... are you the moderator?Thanks for all the back and forth folks. Can the thread get back to the Audi A3 TDI and if they've been released for sale/repair? Looks like someone in Canada purchased one...
You did some talking about the A3, along with a lot of rambling about your Passat and 6 other TDIs and your new S3. And at no point in your babbling did you actually answer this guy's question which is, are the 2015 A3 TDIs being sold again like the other 2015's?We are talking about A3 TDIs... are you the moderator?
Well back to cricket chirps. I can take my experience elsewhere....
