I have yet to see proof of this stated anywhere. Care to share your source?Nope, if the car was "bought back" per the program, there's nothing left on the table for VW to shell out.

When I check the portal with a VIN of a 2015 that I am considering purchasing, that is exactly what the portal is telling me.Register the VIN of a "bought back" car on the website, what do you think will happen? VW cash machine just keeps doling out the greenbacks?
Man i should register our 2015 NOS Passat for the fix again, and score another 8K, its only got 6K miles on it, gonna make bank!!!!
One incentive would be is, if the first fix was done in mid-2017, and the 2nd fix isn't available or isn't done until mid-2019, the 2nd fix starts the extended warranty over again, so one could increase the emission fix warranty extension. That's a fair amount of incentive, especially if the hardware doesn't negatively impact vehicle performance or mileage efficiency.Portal Has proven to be wrong for amount of monies to be paid out on multiple vehicles, it's not good enough for proof. Ive checked multiple vehicles that got paid out already and the portal says full restitution.
I do get what freeze plug is saying .
Buy a 2015 Passat that hasn't had both phases done yet (just one), if no money is coming his way, why complete the fix?
I'm wondering what stipulation people have to complete phase 2 when they bought there 2015s from the dealership (post announced fix)?

I think your perspective is spot on. Don't make a decision in this kind of situation based upon thinking you will get additional restitution payments - base it upon warranty, fuel economy, and vehicle fitting needs and being an enjoyable vehicle to own & drive. If you are fortunate enough to qualify for additional restitution and VW provides it for you, that is just a bonus, but don't consider this in your decision process, because it sounds unlikely VW will grant it.Just for fun I entered my 2015 into the portal and it says this vehicle is not eligible. This is what I would have expected. I didn't purchase the new 2015 a few months ago thinking I would make money again on it. The warranty definitely had a lot to do with my decision though. So all I say is good luck to anyone who thinks VW will shell out any more money than they have to. Would be sweet if they did use money as an incentive to get the 2nd part of the fix done, but I don't hold my breath. I purchased the 2015 because I love driving the TDI.

The class attorneys just told me that the NOS 2015's are not eligible due to not being a registered vehicle as outlined by the class document. They are not eligible for any restitution at all. Used bought back ones are. I bought mine for the tdi, discount and warranty at the time.Just for fun I entered my 2015 into the portal and it says this vehicle is not eligible.

OK, understand that NOS (new/old stock) aren't eligible.The class attorneys just told me that the NOS 2015's are not eligible due to not being a registered vehicle as outlined by the class document.

I bought by '15 Passat from a non VW dealership so not sure if this helps but thought I'd chime in with my experience. When I ran the VIN and talked with someone on the portal live chat they said that the phase 1 was completed but I'm still eligible for the phase 2 restitution. The car was leased before I bought it BTW.
Just wait until near the end next year. You are obviously undecided.
