    Buy Back Spreadsheet - Track our buyback status

    Sent in documents on 10/30. Received first offer on 12/28. It had an error (showed I owed nothing on car). Called and they said they would correct. Received second offer letter today. Still wrong. I think VW has finally surpassed Comcast as my most hated company.

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

    Girlfriend is buying a car today. She was really set on buying a Tiguan. I took her to a few dealers yesterday and got her to fall in love with the Mazda CX-5. Feels good to prevent another VW sale :D.

    If you are considering buyback which cars are you looking at as replacements?

    Looking forward to not having a car (minus the company car) and not paying for the garage and storage insurance on the Golf. Then again, I am a car whore and really would like a Tacoma TRD Pro...

    What did you do to your MK7 today?

    Tried to break the TDI today. Drove a bunch of rutted back roads to get to a trailhead. This was one of the smoother sections in the photo. Bottomed out a few times but she made it haha. Will try again to break her this weekend as I head to the Alvord Desert.

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Went to storage and checked on the TDI today. Unfortunately it was still there. Closed the door and will check on it again next month. Impatiently waiting for a buyback.

    Wow! My car's value dropped like a rock... what to do? Help!

    Just do what I did. Throw it in a garage and put storage insurance on it. At least I can save a little money on insurance until a resolution is brought up.

    Survey on Dieselgate and TDIClub

    Done. Love the site but I cannot wait to get rid of the car and never own a VW again.

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Some of us (well myself) have received company cars and no longer need a personal car. So now I have a car with a monthly payment that sits in a garage on storage insurance. Like the above poster, I don't want or need a large compensation. All I want is pre scandal resale value so I can sell the...

    Anyone know a way to track historical Blue Book values?

    Well I was offered $18,500 from VW when I was thinking of trading it in (pre scandal) and was offered $11,500 from the same VW dealership after the scandal. Now it sits in a garage on storage insurance.

    Would you still want to get rid of your TDI had dieselgate never happened?

    Received a company car in November. Would have loved to sell the TDI. Now it sits in a garage on storage insurance until prices return to normal (hopefully one day).

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    I have been driving around a Fusion Hybrid the last month. Surprisingly enjoy it. The TDI is now parked in a garage on storage insurance. It will sit there until VW comes out with their solution. I can't wait to never own another VW...

    Would you purchase a TDI Post-Dieselgate

    First TDI and first VW. Will never own one ever again. Have zero interest in a company that treats its consumers such as VW has.

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Yes if the entire community collectively decided not to trade in any of their TDI's and only sell privately at the before scandal market value. Then the pricing may not have dropped if the demand for the cars was still there. How long is it going to take for that dealer to sell them at $13k...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    I agree with most of those points. If I sell my car privately, I can most likely get $16,000-$16,500. In my opinion, that would be $2,000-$2,500 off what I could have gotten if Dieselgate did not happen. But dieselgate has caused (imo) the market for diesels to drop significantly. It has also...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    But the emissions problem caused the resale value. KBB is down 13% for VW Diesels since the scandal. VW as a whole is down 7% after the scandal. Now its not VW's fault that I no longer have a need for the car. But without the scandal I could have walked away without negative equity. But it is...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Yea. Toyota and Nissan said their dealer has put a hold on selling any used TDI's until a resolution is known. Carmax offer is tempting. I would love to walk away from this thing.
