    Actual Purchases of 2015 Stop-Sale (NEW TDI's)

    There are 2 SEL passats at my local dealer for around that same price I told them if you want one off the lot I will take it for 27k. Hopefully I get a call in the next couple of months.

    Trading in your VW TDI? What will be your next car

    I looked at 2015 TDI's this weekend and I just cant bring myself to paying 27k on a "new" car that is two years old. The 5k off just isnt enough incentive for me. I am hoping for the cars in my area to come down on price.

    Noticeable decrease in MPG with new tires

    Noticeable decrease in MPG with new tires

    I just put continental pure contact tires on my 2013 passat and I have lost about 5 MPG. The tires are eco rated and the psi is right. Has anyone else had this noticeable of a decrease in MPG with new tires?

    2013 passat tdi owners I need some advice

    So if you look at the buyback numbers, The 2013 passat for whatever reason is valued about 5k less than the 2014. Ever year model except the 2013 model has about a 2k depreciation between year to year. Why is this? I am struggling with my decision on the buyback or the fix. Owe about 13k on the...

    Dieselgate: Volkswagen to Spend Up to $14.7 Billion to Settle ...

    No it's not unless you choose the fix plus money. Assuming the fix doesnt ruin your MPG's. basically your out money if you find a comparable car. I will get 22k from buyback. A honda accord that gets less mpg's will cost around 25k. so you lose 3k. "But your getting a new car" yeah so? I would...

    What kind of lawyer do I need to contact to start a claims process After reading that if I total the car between now and the fix that I wont be eligible for the buyback. That on top of I think the buyback is unfair for me. What kind of attorney should I contact? Insurance attorney?

    Dieselgate: Volkswagen to Spend Up to $14.7 Billion to Settle ...

    These are my thoughts exactly. I have a 2013 with around 70k and the buyback is not attractive at all. I bought this car to drive forever not to trade in and get another car. There is not really a comparable car on the market either (maybe the mazda 6 or honda accord), but even then they do not...

    40K service checklist

    This is exactly what I did as well. I agree about the batter/air filter housing. It was the hardest part of the service. I know how to do it now, so i will be able to finish faster next time.
