“My TDI is one of the recalls. I am torn. I really don’t like anything I see on the market.”
I filled out the lawsuit offer from VW today. I recommend you do that ASAP. If you own the car and owned it from the time the news broke in September ‘15 the settlement is pretty decent. My payout is $2550, which I figure is about how much I lost in sales value.
There are many cars out there that are older, but with ten to twenty thousand miles on them. I sold three that belonged to my parents. They were old, but in perfect condition. I’m friends with the guy who bought my Dad’s ten year old Honda and he has since put 200k miles on it.
You don’t have to work on them. Just find a good mechanic by word of mouth. Old luxury Fords are the best buy going, bar none. Lincoln town cars are awesome! Surf Craig’s list.
My buyback is about 23K minus car loan of about 8500.
Or I can keep it and get about 6K perhaps, someday.
Although I like the diesel and hate the thought of dealing with ethanol.
I am just spinning in all directions with this issue.
