Unlike some owners out there crying to the media over how VW hurt their feelings, I am a proud owner of two 2010 TDI JSW's. I bought both within the same 4 month period before all this crap went down. I bought them for the tremendous savings over driving a 5.7L V8. I drive mine for work, and am paid 54 cents a mile(57 last year). In the time since I purchased both vehicles(April 2015) I have driven enough to off both cars and cover all maintenance, registrations, tires, all of it. Free cars. Now on top of the goodwill package VW wants to give me another $5100 per car AND I get to continue to drive(make money) for potentially another 2 years while they come up with a fix, at which point I will still have the option to sell it back to them for the 2015 value(with a mileage adjustment)? I am laughing all the way to the bank. Best cars I have ever bought hands down, both in terms of value, quality, and utility. Where is a VW exec I can kiss?
Here is another thing, what happens if 50-60% of these cars are sold back in the next 2 years? Can VW fix and resell these? If not, does my 200K JSW become a rare and prized unicorn? Could I potentially sell it to a private party for more than VW will pay me? Oh the possibilities.
Time will tell, but like I said, for now they will have to pry my key fob from my cold dead hand.
