VW TDi Emissions software scandal

[currie09]

How is it possible to work out if a car is depreciating faster than you thought it would? When you buy a car it's probably going to be worth between 40 - 50% of it's original value after 3 years. That's assuming the car has done average miles and is in pretty good condition - and even then it depends on market conditions at the time such as new car discounts offered, new models coming out and how popular the model is by then.



I'd be surprised if anyone gets compensation in the form of a cash payment based on this, more likely as has been said previously that they will just offer better discounts on new cars to those affected or maybe free servicing etc...



Just my opinion

If you work out how many times the flux capacitor has been run and how far back in time it went then you can use a calculation to work out how much tyre tread you use when driving at 88 mph and how much was left in the past v how much left in the future, also you need to check emissions level in the tank as more mileage means less value

Oh no! Whilst reading the last few comments my car has depreciated by another £4.23! What am I going to Doooooo?
I know.... I'll reset my couldn't give a fkometer grow a pair and get on with life. Oh yes, and drive my car. Cars depreciate at varying rates depending on several factors. A facelift comes out, your p/fl is suddenly less attractive. Or a new model. Cupra 290 makes my 280 a bit less desirable. Am I going to sue Seat because they didn't tell me back in 2014 that there was a new, 'better' model coming? I don't think so. My lap top. A model that's been superseded and is probably worth 0.01p now. Bothered? No. Not in the slightest. Everything loses money. You lose 20% on a new car the minute you drive out of a showroom.
If you want a way to invest , buy property. Even that's not guaranteed.
And get used to being lied to. Every one lies to you. Your parents. Your wife/girlfriend/partner. Bus companies. Train companies. All companies. The Government. Newspapers.
Car manufacturers have been lying to you for years about fuel consumption, and we all knew it. Suddenly one gets caught cheating on emissions shock horror and everyone is up in arms, with a few seizing the opportunity to make some cash.
I could write more, but in the spirit of saving the planet I've let t'wife take the diesel to work and I'm off out to spread petrol fumes amongst the world.

I'm sure there is a formula for working out grade of tyres against how much will be burnt off when they go on fire ect haha

Do you think VW will pull the plug on Skoda and Seat to rebuild the VW and Audi brand.

Almost a riot at the local petrol station tonight. They're doing free leons with every 5 liters of oil instead of the usual wine glass set. People were really angry as the glasses were very popular.

I haven't been near a petrol station in a while seeing my MPG is so good ,

load of crap! Usual media rubbish. Given majority of the models probably aren't even affected .

I'm not saying you're wrong , but it was in the business section and I think its the figures from sales .

Apparently a lot of leasing companies have stopped ordering VAG products. I am using WBAC (owned by British Car Auctions) as a guide only. Offers on my car have dropped £300 in 4 days, £2000 in just over 2 months. Can`t all be fiction. Looks like 2.0 ltr diesel will only require software revision.

Do you use mugs to drink wine from then?
