Okay,
I the post yesterday that the fix for the 2015 manual transmission did not meet the California standards and would not be eligible for a fix. I also noticed several 6 speed manual 15 on craigslist from dealers. For example, I saw one listed with 22,000 miles, SE trim for $19K. Volkswagen will pay $30k for the car on buyback, so I have to wonder if it is an absolute slam dunk to buy the used manual 15s and sell them to VW.

False! Gen 2 manuals did not pass - a 2015 is Gen 3, and all models are approved.

I bought a 2015 Passat TDI 6MT three months ago with the approved first phase applied.

Most likely the car was fixed and no additional compensation is available.
