Hello, I hope I am not repeating someone elses question but my situation is this: I have a 2014 Value Jetta TDI with 72K miles on it. Yes I travel a lot. My car functions perfectly and get over 50mpg. SO...I have a loan on it with VW and the interest rate is 1.5% and I am into 2+ years of 6 paid on it. So at first I was going to do buyback with would net me after my loan is paid off around 5200 and some change. I would have to use some or all of that to start over with a new loan and I might not be able to get 1.5% special financing like I did before plus I would be starting over with a new loan at 5 or 6 years unless I want to plop all that money onto the new car which won't be a jetta diesel. We are thinking a gas jetta this time. But now I am thinking I should take the fix and keep the jetta which I love. Is anyone else considering interest rates when deciding what to do? Any input would be great!
Opinions needed: fix or buyback Jetta 2014

What makes you think it will fail the emissions test? They don't test for NOx.

Take the buy out and buy a car for 8k and pay it off so you have no payment

I have a 2014 Jetta Sportwagen with far less miles and we're selling it back. Granted it was in a major accident and the repair didn't make it like new. However, they are giving us more than we bought it for and got to drive it for a couple of years so I'm not sure the accident would have mattered regardless.
I think it comes down to how much they'll give you and if that amount can put you in a newer car with less miles and smaller payments. In my case it would for sure. For instance, I owe $10,100 on the TDI. After the buyback they will pay that off and give me roughly $19k. If I used that on a brand new Alltrack S, I would come in with a smaller loan than I started with, lower miles, 4motion, and Apple Car Play, just to name a few things.

Look at how much they will give you to put the fix on and how much time you could cut off your loan with that money.
(need to use a loan calculator or stop by your bank or credit union to get help. don't just divide the amount by your car payment.)
(you are putting on a lot of miles for a six year loan. might want to change the plan unless you want increasing car payments for the rest of your life)
