2015 Owners lets see your numbers

[RollingCoal]

I know that the numbers provided in the chart have the 2015 values listed as possibly inaccurate so this thread may end up not having as much meaning but I don't have full confidence yet in VW's settlement figures so here goes.


NADA Clean Trade-In Value: 07/05/16 - 2015 SEL with 6MT and 18k miles (using my adjusted mileage. I have ~28k on the clock today) $20,500

Buyback offer for my car with 28k miles. $28,556 after mileage adjustment.

Mod compensation $7248

Subtract that from my buyback offer and VW is buying the car back for $21,308.

Total claimed loss of value from Sep 2015 -> July 2016 according to the published values, all factors considered - $808

Even if it was published that the figures may not be correct, they better be way off and be adjusted properly or otherwise it would appear that VW is nudging it's most recent customers towards the fix. There seems to be several thousand dollars less coming to 2015 owners than there should be. In my opinion, they need to add about $2500 +/- $500 for this to make sense. I checked the KBB value right after the scandal and it was way higher then what they seem to be insinuating that the NADA value was. I know these two separate entities value cars slightly differently but there is a strong fishy odor here. Please keep this thread to discussing 2015 trade in values only.

2015 values are in a table listed by VIN. They aren't useful, since the VIN is blacked out, but in the first page of about 80 pages, lowest value seems to be about 23,795. Seems to be a 23-24k bin, a 28-30k bin, then some outlier values. Not really sure where the Beetle, Golf, Jetta and Passat fell price wise, but from the values you can probably find a pattern to bin them out. Again, pdf isn't searchable, so any data operations would be hard with what is presented.

Isn't there already a thread on this exact subject?

Not that I saw when I posted it. I did post these findings in another thread but moved it to its own thread for clarity on the 2015 values for other owners confused on they're buy back offer.

On a side note I really just wish NADA had historical pricing on these, it would offer significant clarity on what they were worth at the time, how dieselgate affected the value, and how VW's offer lines up with pricing from the time.

Run by your bank/credit union/library, they should have the books.

Buyback offer (TDI GSW SE) = 29,907
Mileage adjustment (8500 miles) = +970
Total Buyback offer = 30,777

Remaining on Loan September 1, 2016 = 28,085 = 2,692 cash to me
Remaining on Loan September 1, 2018 (when original warranty is up) = 19,367 = 11,410 cash to me

Fix Payment = 7,328
Mileage Adjustment +870
Total Fix offer = 7,473

2015 Jetta S, manual, ~25000 miles

I came up with ~22,500. I have zero mileage adjustment. Thats from the chart.

Where are these other values on the 15's people are looking at? So I could be getting MORE than 22,500?

The ~22,500 number from the chart appears to be close to what I calculated out(todays trade in value + ~30% loss since Sept 15 + ~6100 "penalty money").
