Agreed, figuring an average of $3,000 a year of depreciation waiting until 2018 makes it that much more of a sweet deal. I figure at that time I’ll be selling a 6 year old car maybe worth $12k (pre-scandal) for $24k to VW.

Keep driving it until 2018. You no longer need to service it. As long as you can drive it to the dealer get the free miles out of it!
