Looks like they got preliminary approval on the settlement today, either fix it and get almost 3k plus 20% of the pre-scandal NADA value, or sell it back for that plus the pre-scandal NADA value.

I'M RICH BITCH!

Anybody else have a tdi that is part of this?

does the "fix" reduce MPGs?

I have an 11 golf tdi. Haven't registered for the buyback yet, but will soon

To my knowledge, there still isn't a fix but I'm sure if they figure one out it will. I'm going with the buyback, I've not driven the car (2014 Jetta sportwagen) in over a year anyway, and I was actually about to sell it when the scandal broke. Worked out pretty well for me, I'm getting about $30k for it. The whole process has been a nightmare though. I submitted all my documents at the end of October and was told I'd get a final offer within 10 business days; I just got it Friday and the soonest appointment I could get to turn the car in was mid February.

VW emissions cheat may lead to 50 premature deaths, 3,000 lost workdays, $423 million in economic costs, study shows

Quote :

"The effect of non-compliant VW emissions is almost certainly substantially worse than their estimates for several reasons, the study's authors say. First, the analysis only accounts for a single year of added emissions when most of the vehicles have been on the road for multiple years; secondly, the researchers looked at emissions from the approximately 482,000 cars using 2.0-liter diesel engines, not additional non-compliant cars with 3.0-liter diesel engines, nor the approximately 800,000 additional diesel and gas vehicles with underreported carbon dioxide emissions"

44,000 healthy years lost in Europe, 72,000 years could still be lost in the future

Quote :

"Researchers from Nijmegen have calculated these specific health costs due to mortality in Europe and the United States to be at least 39 billion US dollars, which is significantly more than the 7.3 billion US dollars that Volkswagen Group has set aside to cover worldwide costs related to the diesel emissions scandal."
