I said no one expects that in a normal situation. Take the scandal out of the situation, and no one would expect to get a new car for a car that's been used. Common sense.Another note - since there will be plenty of lawsuits brewing, they will be condensed into a class-action. That's the whole purpose of class-action suits, is to group all of the similar issues together in the hopes of limiting duplicate work for the same situation. These guys aren't the only firm suing on the basis of lost value due to the scandal, lemon-law or whatever tactic they are taking.
And for those saying "no one expects to sell a used car for new car prices", getting you into a new car in trade for your used one is exactly that...getting a new car value (either in trade or cash) for a use vehicle.
Put the scandal in the situation, AND if there is a buyback, then VW will likely have to go above what the "normal" situation to get a high amount of cars back. That's where it "seems" people are being greedy - I'm in a situation where if VW offered me what it was worth pre scandal I'd be taking a step back in car or coming out of pocket to upgrade.
The speculation regarding trade in for a new VW is just that - and it is people stating either that's what VW would need to do to keep them with the brand OR people stating the offer would have to be too good to be true to get them to move. Again, no one expects that - just stating the extreme.
I fully expect VW to offer the least they can while trying to capture as many repeat customers as possible. I have a feeling we'll all be disappointed by the ultimate outcome - and it will take a pretty decent amount or incentive for me to stay with VW after this - but I'm not expecting it.
