Nick---think you meant to say "what's better than a VW" not "what's better about a VW" in your second paragraph. just picking nits.
Haha, not lately. I've been in the Mississippi Delta on business most of the last year. I'm two hours ahead of AZ. And there's a lot less sun and a lot more rain in MS :thumbsdown:too much time in the sun today? rained here all day, but that is better than the alternative at this time of year.
People have different preferences. I specifically wanted one without NAV because I like the interior better without it. I'm seeing 32 MPG in mixed driving with snows on the car. Not bad for the size and power.The 335D with NAV and iDrive dash looks a ton better than without, IMO.
also planning on selling their bought back inventory as well
I do wonder how you think any of us are going to steal from the stealerships?Hopefully can get a steal on one or 2 I would consider
Money talksI called a couple places today. They didn't give me numbers, but they said there was some kind of meeting in Vegas this weekend where all will be revealed. One dealer told me they were also planning on selling their bought back inventory as well. The problem, I suspect, is that if there are any good deals to be had, hoarders will buy them up just to sell back. I want one to replace my 2001, so I can keep that for 16 years, but I'm not going to pay outrageous prices for one. I'm not even sure what one should go for at this point. 20k for a loaded SEL manual? Or is that a pipe dream?
How do you think the pricing will go? I bet the flood of inventory will drop prices way down!
Thinking stealers can sell as is with out the fix in place. Then do it laterI would imagine any 15's being sold as new or even used ones will have the first part of the fix and will be ineligible for buyback.
As time goes on the depreciation followsAnyone called their local dealer to see when they can actually sale the car? or anyone got pricing yet?
I've called 3. They've all said they haven't got the official "program" an "documentation" to sale them yet. Thinking end of summer they said.
That's disappointing. Might have to swing for the new Cruze Diesel.
A rare exception to the above general rule: starting in about July, some people who read this forum began buying used VW's from various non-VW dealerships with the intent of returning them in the buyback. And some of those people have made out extremely well. They managed to "steal" (quite legally) from the dealerships! They out-foxed them at their own game.I do wonder how you think any of us are going to steal from the stealerships?
They steal every single day, all day and half the night! And a single car buyer is going to out fox and out steal from the stealership - not once, but twice?
I for one salute those guys --A rare exception to the above general rule: starting in about July, some people who read this forum began buying used VW's from various non-VW dealerships with the intent of returning them in the buyback.

Any luck with your car on ebay? any good offers?He said there was no active selling of new TDi cars yet
And for sometime, they have deposits on the units at his dealership.
Being a little cory (sp?) I act if they were sitting in the sun, and what about the damage of many months of not being driven - (or started)
"Not to worry" He told me the units were being driven as demos and used for management cars ~~ some with way more than 1,000 miles on the clock
So much for "NEW" 2015 cars
With '15s from dealers coming available, that window may have closed.Any luck with your car on ebay? any good offers?
It's not going to sell.Any luck with your car on ebay? any good offers?
Yes --With '15s from dealers coming available, that window may have closed.
I've had a couple telling me that too. But with such limited inventory, what am I putting a deposit on!?Called around today to get a list of dealer inventories on 2015s. Local dealer was washing them up and happily taking deposits (with no info other than we hope we can sell them at an undetermined price). I'm intrigued!
Remembering back 'bout 3-4 decades.I've had a couple telling me that too. But with such limited inventory, what am I putting a deposit on!?
ON a VW diesel ~~ LATELY --I've watching used prices on 2015 's, and have pics of window stickers for reference,
There is a 15 Golf in Quebec, that the owner wants a few grand more than what he prob paid for it.. so my guess is dealers will be going for the full price buyers first ..and see how it flushes out..
I know 3000 off sticker is easily doable on new, as thats what I got as a stranger walking in off the street ..
