While I will mention up front that this is the first such story I've read, it adds to the reason that I will not even consider a 2015 TDI. The first reason on the list is that it is now three model years old, which for my money makes the prices I've read some people say they paid for these absurd. I can see how some people will be tempted by one that's being sold new, given the extended warranty on it, but— not me.
For sure. I just dont think its worth the gamble in my opinion. A 2015 with under 100 miles....maybe....but one with xx,000 miles...thats risky. The extend of those cars being examined (other than safety) is unknown...or is it?
Clean Carfax though
Horrible
Lol my 2015 SEL TDI loaded with options 6 Speed Manual won best in show last 2 Fests with 40K miles was FS here for months no one wanted it....great car!
What do you mean by new/old? Was the car previously sold and titled? If so you bought a used car. Used cars have repairs performed that may not always have been done properly. Not sure why this would be a surprise.
I would merely add that my 2012 Jetta TDI(6M) hasn't had a single "repair" of any sort - aside from dealer service and me sliding under the chassis to change the oil/filter. And so while of course used cars have repairs, used cars also do not have repairs
Local dealerships in my area have several used "repaired" buyback 2015 TDI models available for sale. The issue is that the asking pricing is still quite high. If you're able to track down a New 2015 TDI (if the VW incentives are still available) that would likely be your best bet.I would merely add that my 2012 Jetta TDI(6M) hasn't had a single "repair" of any sort - aside from dealer service and me sliding under the chassis to change the oil/filter.

What I'd really like to know is where is all this inventory from 2015 that was stop-sale effected? Should one expect to see low-miles 2015 TDIs flooding the market?
I bought it as a new car, but its a 2015 model that was pulled from sale when the lawsuit landed.
Soooo..... someone at the dealership was swapping parts, and probably charging the customer for a new one they didn't pay for....
