I'm curious as to what some statistics are. What percentage are (A) Fixing; (B) turning the car back to VW, (C) Doing nothing, (D) Can't do anything because the car has been wrecked, or (E) something else.
I have had four VW diesels in the past 36 years. I love them. I would love to keep my 2014 Passat, but VW is willing to pay me 85% of my purchase price for a car that will be 4 1/2 years old next summer. Most cars depreciate over 50% in that period. In my mind, it's a no-brainer. And since I drive less than 700 miles a month, my buyback price has increased $1200 since the formula was announced. If I could, I would wait until 2020 to turn the car back to VW.
