Bird sh1t this time of year is a real pita. Is it just me or are birds becoming suicidal this time of year ? Sitting on the road, not moving till last second, their judgement is off or they're cocky, or curious young birds that really have dinosaur brains.

Might consider the GENEROUS ($5,000?) fix,
... then sell the wounded car on the curb(stone)
... a combination of newness and low miles might bring a good price.

Dealer nearby is offering me $30780-$7280=$23500 on a 2016 passat 1.8TSI SE/tech/lightning pack.
If a buyback happens, I expect the dealer will offer no less than this.
Otherwise they'll be playing games with me.

I went to the local VW dealer last week to talk about replacing my 2015 TDI SEL Wagon with a 2016 TSI Golf SEL Wagon. The kid at the dealer was really rude and insisted there will be no Buyback from VW. He said "since when do you see any car manufacturer doing that, Peoples faces are being ripped off with shrapnel from defected air bags by other car manufactures, do you see them buying back any cars, nope" He went on and on. I asked him if he had read the transcripts of the court hearing with the Judge saying there would be a buy back or a fix at the discretion of the customer, he said it was all meaningless. This is a VW salesman saying this who is suppose to be trying to sell me a new VW. You would think the dealers would welcome a buyback as they will sell more cars. Anyhow, after this, I'm done with VW, no more. I will get a new Mercedes as soon as the 2017 E series wagons come out. It will cost a lot more, but like the saying goes, you get what you pay for. As Mr. Wonderful would say "VW is dead to me"

You gotta figure that any of the veteran salesman have left the VW dealerships long ago. When I went for my 10K service there were a bunch of community college girls who didn't know the first thing about cars trying to sell them. It was pretty embarrassing for the dealership. I can tell you the only people in the dealership were those getting service.

Your right, what good professional sales person would want to be affiliated with VW at this point? They'd move onto other companies like MB, BMW, etc. The dealer I was also sells Audi and looks like at this point they are mainly focusing on that brand, they parked all the VW's around back and put all the Audi's up front.

I still want to keep my TDI. It will be a rare vehicle after most are bought back. It will be desirable again in a few years when gas is $5/gallon and no more TDI vehicles are offered by VW. I'm in for the long haul.

Over my 30+ years of new car buying, IMHO, most of the salespeople don't have a clue about the cars they are selling. Even in the days before the internet, I was better informed about the specifics of the cars I was considering than the salesman. The good ones that stand out were the older gentleman that sold us the 03 Avalanche. He knew his trucks inside and out. And the VW dealer that we tried to buy the first 2000 beetle from. Again, a very well informed salesperson but in the end, not as honest as was needed. Offered to hold the car for the day until I could get there without a deposit. They sold the car around 4, while I was on the way there. Gave up leather, but bought the same car at a different dealer the next day.

Reports say VW will submit a $10 billion dollar plan for dieselgate with $6.5 billion of that going towards owners
That would be roughly an average of $13K per owner but I am sure some will get more than that and some much less
What I do will depend on how much I get. If I get the car paid off and pocket $5K or more it is gone
Anything less than $5K and I probably keep.

If the numbers pan out and I'm able to clear my finance like other owners who did and got blindsided, I'll take my money and run. While the TDI is a great do-it-all car (and decently fun at autocross), I'm thinking of moving into something more upscale if brand incentives are no good.

That's actually a good idea. VW could keep a lot of people "in the family" with this type of offer.

Yeah I was thinking it would be great if they doubled up on the cash payout if you bought a new one. I would still be looking to ditch my 2010 JSW for a 328d, but my wife has a matching 2010 JSW that she might want to upgrade on. VW needs to retain as many of the near 500k customers as they can, even if it means taking a hit on the 2016-2017 margins.
Which actually makes me wonder if I am in for a multiplier as an owner of 2 JSW TDI's? I got 2 goodwill packages, nothing extra there. But I have been WRONGED you honor!!! J/K

2 veteran service reps and 3 sales(wo)men left our dealership all within a period of about 2 months back in April-May of last year. I inquired about 4 of them and apparently not a single one still works for the VW family tree. Couldn't get much info on the 5th. He moved up into South Carolina or something.
Makes me wonder if they knew what was coming.....

What was funny to me at my last dealer visit was seeing the 2.slows I think 13s or 14s on the lot for $11k just off leases. If you want to talk about no frills rides there's always the 2.slow VW dealers still sell.
A 2 year old car with 24k on the clock for $11Gs..hmmm
And despite my prior optimism over the Chattanooga Passat, the base versions cloth seat (aka flat bottom seat) was disappointing, made me want to run away quick to my Jetta's leatherette which is much easier to find a comfortable contoured position.
Selling a new Passat "out the door" cash price no frills (no roof, leather, steelies etc) for $22-23k with a cheap cloth seat. The salesman himself called it a "flat bottomed seat" and all I could do was laugh along with him and think of the "fat bottomed girls" song.

I'm in the boat next to you. Just that one of my VWs shrank. I liked the $2000 goodwill cards and think the wife still has all of her $500 dealer money. Our problem, like yours, is that if I have to get rid of both cars, how do I afford to replace them? I guess my 07 canyon becomes my dd and the wife gets a new car.Yeah I was thinking it would be great if they doubled up on the cash payout if you bought a new one.

i'm here too, I have no intentions of getting rid of my car unless the deal is sweet, although ive decided on what I owe on the car + $4k or more for it to be worth it. I figure its highly unlikely that I'll get this much (or any with a modded car) so ill likely be driving it into the ground
If by some chance I get a sweet deal, ill be moving into a duramax gmc canyon.

VW needs to move to a solid state ammonia treatment system to fix these cars, very very expensive; Far more than the buyback price.

How about just inject clorox bleach into the exhaust that ought to clean it up, no maybe not a good idea, then everyone will be suing VW as the paint will be falling off in the cars behind the TDI

And if you are a dealership of any other vehicle brand, what kind of offers are you preparing in anticipation of VW attempting to keep the money in the family? There's going to be plenty of VW $$$ flying around soon, what dealership in their right mind isn't going to try grabbing as much of it as possible(sympathetically of course)...

What I will Choose
I'm hoping that VW will put TDIs back in the dealerships ASAP so that I can take a new Model off their showroom floor and pocket the $5000. Any word of new models?
