I have a 2012 TDI auto wagon approaching 100,000 mi. It has performed flawlessly needing nothing from me for the last 40,000 mi except oil & filters. VW is giving me $15,000 for it in December so it will be sold. I couldn't find anyone that had anything bad to say about them when I was considering the purchase.

A friend of mine works for a large tech consulting company that has a lot of car industry clients. Supposedly word is that autos would be affected by the pollution re-flash than the standards. I would not hesitate to buy that car. This couple is keeping theirs because of low mileage and straight shift.

Strange how you are buying for less than what VW is buying mine for. You could punch in the VIN and back date the purchase date so you'd be eligible for the buy back and see what the amount is. Just ask your phone what the cut off date is.

I opted for a 15 Volvo V60 with 20,000 mi as a replacement. The Volvo is an upgrade in build & comfort. My intent is to sell it when close to 100,000 mi. I'm tired of having 5 vehicles licensed with 3 of them needing work. No more projects allowed in the door.
