Pure depreciation figures. Bought a 2004 manual 4 door MkIV TDI for $17k, sold it for $8.5k @ 100k miles in 2010.

Looks like an enormous, REAL inflatable moon to me.

Yeah, if VW got their act together in time, they could have given the cars to the Olympic athletes. I guess they could send the TDI cheater cars to the Russian doping athletes. Cheaters for cheaters program?

Buyback all day long. 2010 TDI Jetta Sportwagen with 110k, was $27k new, buy back is $16k. The modification rate is at the bare minimum, $5,100, and I have the timing belt coming up, plus particulate filter rumors/costs, so after the 120k mile service I will only net $2k if I keep it.
