With the news that VW/EPA/CARB have finally approved a fix for the Gen I cars, my mind starts to race. As I understand it, VW has held onto a huge quantity of these cars, and with the fix approved, can fix them and start selling them:
Seems like that is going to lead to some extraordinarily good deals...?
And the specific context for asking the question: Have a 2011 JSW that has arguably seen better days. 115K on the engine, coming up on the timing belt service, some serious dents and scratches, interior worn, etc. I'm one of the apparently 15% of folks that hasn't sold it back yet... trying to decide if we sell it back and basically get a newer (2013?) model, which will probably be cheap and have a CPO warranty, or if we keep it and get it fixed.
Opinions, please.
Assuming they fix all of them, and I don't see why they wouldn't, that's 275K cars that are going to go into a market in the next two(?) years that is arguably somewhat burned on diesels.As of the end of May, Volkswagen had 37 secure storage facilities around the United States housing close to 275,000 vehicles. Those places include a shuttered suburban Detroit football stadium, a former Minnesota paper mill and a field near a raceway in Colorado.
