The value will go down as you put miles on it.

if you total it, or it get stolen the value won't stay the same.
Also you have the risk of some cathastrophic issue like HPFP exploding, turbo blowing, etc that will cost you a lot of $$$ to fix

I think a whole lot of folks will be holding onto their TDIs till '18. See the Why Rush thread. My '15 will still be under warranty till then, and as long as I drive at my current rate or less, as you say, the buyback figure doesn't change. I recently picked up an '11 Jetta to sell ASAP, but if I keep it in the garage till '18, the buyback goes up about $1700. So I have to determine if I want a car to sit in my garage for two years.

Is it really worth $1700 to have your car sit around for two years? If you take the money and invest it well it may earn that much in two years.

It should take less than a minute. I thought I'd been shafted by the site, but eventually discovered that verizon.net now has a spam filter (courtesy of the AOL email they put in place when they sold the FIOS customers in Texas and Florida to Frontier).
If you have an alternative email (work, etc.) at a different domain, you could re-register under a different name and email address. I did this prior to finding out there was a SPAM filter I was never informed about.
I think VW also modified the site to resend the email if you have not completed registration and you try to log in. It won't get you logged in, but it will get the email sent another time.
Outstanding response...Thanks...of course I didn't write the number to call either. I'll reregister with my work email and try this again.
true but the vw with a basically fixed buyback value will (likely) go down less than a new new or new to you car. With another car, you start the depreciation cycle again

That's not true in all cases. I don't put that many miles on my car. According to the claim site my buy back value may go up if I keep driving at the same pace that a have for the last 2 years.

I registered yesterday. It was straight forward and got the email. However it took longer to plow through it then I expected.
Selected the fix. I don't expect the November estimate for fix to come to pass. They have two years I recall.
It's a shame so many nice cars might be crushed.
The cost and loss of cars, just for a missing the Nox spec seems draconian.

As in make a new registration? Does it matter that my other email has "registered" VIN #s?

I tried switching browsers and that worked, something I should have tried first before posting. However, maybe others will see this that have same issue.
