So if they're going to give you $5000 and a buyback of $13,000 should I immediately buy all used TDI models priced below $18,000?

You did didn't you?  And had them make it look like a V8 Mustang?

I am starting to think this may actually bankrupt VW. I had no idea VW signed up for a deal that would not protect them against lawsuits from US states - and that's exactly where things are headed!

Germany will bankroll it.  Nothing will sink VW, it would cost the German govnt too much in benefits/welfare.

Yep, much like the US bankrolled the banks back in 2008 & then the auto manufacturers a year or 2 later.

I think Musk got it right. Instead of VW now spending billions on the retrofit "solution" let them walk but spend the money in US on hybrid/EV R&D. A weeny Beetle pollutes too much? Let them drive behind a diesel cube van and see what happens to that opinion.

way more than its currently going to cost them  ;)  They can't avoid the recall no matter what they do.
What about:
- factories
- dealers
- inventory

It wouldn't be as easy as when Suzuki did it - and they didn't have a massive recall problem on their head!

I believe VW sale world wide until June  is 2.4 million, USA sales are 240,000 about 10%
Fack the dealers , factories they can sell or walk away, Hyundai and GM did in Quebec
It would be interesting to see what the cost would be
