Looking to buy a 2015 model from a car lot. I am new to the Diesel gate and was wondering what I should be looking for? asking the dealer? Gas mileage changes since the fix? Warranty changes? etc. Thank you in advance

Huh? This is the MKVI forum2015 Jetta is a MK VI. You might get a better response by posting in that forum...
In generalities, the consensus is that the mileage didn't change much if at all. I've averaged about 46mpg over 32,000 miles, I've put about 9k on the car since the software update and I really didn't notice enough of a difference that I could say it went up or down.
If you can get a good deal, go for it. The dieselgate warranty covers the entire longblock, fuel system including HPFP and injectors, turbo, and the entire emissions system, including DPF, exhaust flap, EGR stuff, and DEF system. You just can't go wrong.
Minus the current mileage/time on the car.I forgot to mention the terms of the warranty. A lot of us already know, but to the OP, the above is covered for 11 years/162,000 miles.
