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.

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.

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...

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...

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

I never considered a diesel car for one reason: finding a filling station used to be an issue. Besides, my 2015 Honda Fit gets great fuel economy (40+ mpg on the freeway for a non-hybrid car with modern safety features is pretty good).

Sounds to me, someone who wants a new car, or two, could pretty easily take one of these puppies.. would likely be years before they even realized it had been stolen.

Will never miss it!

They are not all being stored, though. In December, VW said it had destroyed about 28,000 vehicles and resold a further 13,000.

So, how does one find out more about buying one of these cars?

Love to have one at retail price. Could care less about pollution or mileage.
