No.  I used to have a diesel vw, but it was built in Pennsylvania for the 1983 model year.  They polluted without discretion back then.

Where are you getting 20k from? All the people I know getting offers it's 5-7k.

Actually getting an offer, buyback the car + cash. Or get it "fixed" + cash.

Sadly I didn't have a diesel.

I haven't heard 20k anywhere... I know like 10 or so people with different models that got offers and all of them are right around 5-6k. Heard the max was around 7500.

It's true, VW's actually handle like cars that are twice their price range. German engineering, man. I remember back when I had a VW, Ford, Buick, and Toyota and Honda drivers who drove my car always said the same thing, how well it handles.

3100 lbs and handles well, with 240 ft lbs of torque and gets 45mpg on the highway. VW/Audi is a pretty solid company, until this. Still they're offering me more than I paid for it 50k miles ago, I'm not complaining for a second. I'll be the guy laughing at the bank.

That's because VW is made by the same company that makes Audi/Porsche/Bugatti/Bentley etc. Many parts on VWs are the same ones you will find on Audis or Porches, at half the price.
The GTI is essentially an A3. The R is the exact same engine/chassis/gearbox as an S3.
And DAT GERMAN ENGINEERING.
Also not to mention they are some of the safest cars on the road.

I was recently in the first car crash of my life. I was over-exhausted from working a 65 hour work week with barely any sleep at all.. and having not eaten all day. Was a bad combination.
Was driving home from work, getting off an offramp... and my brain just shut down. I just completely blacked out, out of nowhere.. one second I was fine.. next second I wake up smashing head first into a tree at 40-45MPH.

The damage:


That tree fucked my shit up. But the car did what it was designed to do - absorbed almost all the impact. That front end is pushed in a good 2-3 feet.
The impact was so hard it ripped my front roof rack off.

The damage to me? minor bump on the forehead from the side airbag, and three compression fractures in lower vertebrae (from the seatbelt from crashing so hard).
I was in the hospital two days and walked out of there. Minor fractures... wore a brace for a week and have been healing naturally. I didn't even miss a day of work.
It could have been a LOT, LOT, LOT worse. I got lucky really. Really fucking lucky.
But I have ZERO DOUBT that the VW saved my life. Things are built like a fucking tank and have tons of safety features.
If I was driving a Honda, I would probably be dead right now.

I'm VAG for life. They are quality fucking automobiles. My last 3 cars have been VWs and I'm nothing but satisfied.
Audi is the exact same fucking thing for the most part.. with fancier interiors and different styling at 2-3x the price.

While they may be quality cars now, let's not forget the two decade long time period where they were honestly built like garbage.  There were lots ov cool cars built by VW/audi from around '80 to the early '00s, but reliable machines they were not.

I'm talking about now, not 30 years ago :wink:
Some people still love those old air cooled beetles though.
Yeah they have had some problems and shitty slushbox transmissions through the years... and electrical problems.. and CELs and various other things.

But the MK7s are the highest level of refinement they have ever produced.
And the new dual clutch DSG transmissions are pretty much fucking bulletproof and are FASTER than a manual by a pretty big margin. AND get better gas mileage.
Even the SUPER diehard manual-for-life guys I know, got DSGs on their newest cars because they are THAT much better than manual.
Doesn't matter how good of a driver you are. DSG wins in the 0-60 and 1/8 - 1/4 mile by a good chunk. Pro drivers side by side, identical cars, only difference is the trans.
You just can't beat millisecond shifts without dropping RPMs at all, no matter how good you are at driving manual.

People were upset when they phased out the VR6... but the new Gen3 2.O TSI/TFSI engines are fucking awesome and can make some pretty ridiculous gains with aftermarket upgrades.

They certainly did make some unreliable cars in the past.. but the recent crop is money

You do realize the REASON you got 45mpg on the highway was BECAUSE of the emissions cheat, right?
After this "emissions fix".. those TDIs are gonna get way worse gas mileage. Which is fucking retarded, because they are going to end up putting out more pollution. And most trucks put out way more to begin with.

VW's intention for the cheat was to maximize consumer benefit and ultimately achieve the highest satisfaction possible. Who doesn't love 45+ MPG in a vehicle that has torque for days?
Because the EPA fucking sucks... they didn't have any of these problems in the Euro market. So they wrote a software that gave a different number, ok? GM, Ford, Toyota have had millions of vehicles recalled and tons of deaths because of faulty equipment. Anyone remember when Prius vehicle's gas pedal was getting stuck at full throttle?
Ok, they were caught in a loop hole in the system, but what manufacturer hasn't found loop holes. I guarantee Ford, GM and Dodge diesel trucks are the same. And what of this "rolling coal" phenomenon? Guarantee those guys are putting out metric shittons of emissions.
In the end.. was anyone hurt or killed by their "cheating"? No... it just benefited the consumer. And look.. you're going to benefit even more from it!

Also the EPA poisoned a GIANT FUCKING RIVER, "accidentally" spilling 3 fucking million gallons of toxic waste into it.... like a few weeks/months before they charged VW with this "scandal".. and who's holding the EPA accountable and making them pay billions in fines? Oh that's right.. no one because they have impunity. They don't hold themselves to the same standards. EPA is a fucking joke.
