I would like to buy one if the price is right. I’ll start the bidding at $500. That’s higher than they might get at the scrap yard.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Wow. You’d think it would be cheaper to fix the software and sell them at a deep discount, maybe at or just below cost. I don’t think there were any hardware problems — just software.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Why not ship them to Latin America?
Better to sell them at a loss than to eat the whole loss

The environmental impact is staggering and outweighs the exhaust issue.

I hope VW realizes that repairing these vehicles will never occur. By the time they “repaired” even 1/5th of them, they would be obsolete. Donate them to Cars for Kids...

Really? Hard to believe.

That's NOT how pagan offerings to the Enviro-gods works. It has to be a consumed sacrifice, with elements of suffering, penitence and unrecoverable reparation.

What is your source for that? It sounds like hogwash.

The environmental impact is staggering and outweighs the exhaust issue. You mean the environmental impact of destroying the cars outweighs the miniscule issue of the fake exhaust data, correct?

Looks like the surface of a Death Star.

My Jetta TDI is on one of those lots, and I’d buy it back if the price was right. Most fun and economical car I ever owned. Turned it in on the buyback just because I didn’t want to deal with all the fallout of owning a VW diesel after the news broke...
To: Dubh_Ghlase
Sounds like it might be more economically feasible to just get the EPA straightened out. They cause more problems than they are worth.

Give one to every illegal alien at the border with the caveat that neither come back to the US unless properly and legally admitted.

Point them to the “mao zedong tunnel” entrance so they can drive to their free Hawaiian vacation.

How true! IMO, VW’s biggest sin was hacking off the EPA bureaucrats.

Trump could use the issue as leverage somehow, I am sure.

There’s a mixed bag of hardware AND software issues.
Depends on the model year.
