    Brand New 2015 Volkswagen TDI Models Back On Sale

      Want a brand new 2015 Volkswagen TDI?

    If the Volkswagen diesel emission scandal hasn't swayed you from wanting one, then you'll be happy to hear Volkswagen will once again be able to sell brand-new 2015 model year TDI models. Green Car Reports says near 11,000 TDI models will soon be back up for sale once they are updated with new software, making them legal.

    Volkswagen does caution those interested in picking up a new TDI to call their nearest dealership to see if they have any in stock.

    But that's not all. Volkswagen is offering some massive discounts on these models. CarsDirect reports that Volkswagen is offering 0% APR for up to 72 months and $5,000 cash bonus if you decide to buy. Interested in leasing one? Volkswagen will offer a cash bonus of $8,500. 

    There are a couple of caveats to this offer. First, you need to have an excellent credit history to qualify for either offer. Second is that Volkswagen isn't advertising this offer.

    "We will not be advertising the available incentives from our financing arm as they [sic] vehicle availability will vary per dealership," said Volkswagen spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan.

    So by word of mouth they will dump the Diesels on the market and call it good. Good offers if you can find one that meets your needs. Wonder where the bulk of the diesels are?

    I just checked autotrader and I didn't see anything available yet. I see the golf wagons that are TDI's but I feel like they have been there for awhile...

    From what I gathered, Boston/ New York area.

     

    And most will not be selling for those prices.....we have a local one here that is only a grand off MSRP.......

    :huh: That makes no sense considering they are a couple years old and have been sitting. Nope if they want me to consider buying one, then 10K off to start.

    Oh, I'd totally agree....they need quite the markdown to get me to even think about it.....

    But I get the feeling dealerships will take advantage though....

    I wouldn't mind a nicely loaded Passat TDI for those deals.

     

    Right color, right price could talk me into one.....8)

    My friend Aaron got a very good deal on a 2015 TDI wagon.  I still miss mine, sold it back about 7 weeks ago.

    It got 58 Miles per gallon on a highway trip right before I sold it back...

    As far as the older TDI's go, a bunch have been coming through flattened on flat bed trucks at a towing lot near my daughters school. TDI Cup Jetta, Beetle Covnertible, several other interesting older Vee dubs flat as a pancake...

    Ya mean they actually crushed them? Wonder if they were models that could not be fixed cheaply.

    None of the first gen models have the ad Blue and will not be able to be repaired easily.  methinks VW may well crush up to about half of what it is buying back...they are not going to fix and resell a car that is 7 year sold with 100,000 plus miles on it.

    Interesting, yea I would agree that if an auto has 100K miles on it and needs more than a software flash upgrade, it is not worth it so recycle the auto.

    The last thing VW needs right now is more legal liability.

    Back on topic, I know of several people who have bought these new 2015's.  My wife brought up finding a 2015 TDI Beetle manual for her to drive, i may look at one...still wildly unsure of what I want to replace the Jetta with.

    Ah okay. I thought you were looking for as close to a Jetta TDI replacement as possible.

    • Some days I miss being a young man, that was very much part of it.  And will continue to do so.  That and E bikes, E lawn mowers, E snow blowers. In Ohio, I work in facilities for a university. We got rid of our gas powered snow blowers and got electric ones. Much quieter, never fail to start on a cold morning, no explosive gas sitting around, don't need to keep a bunch of gas on hand for them, lighter, cleaner (no grease or oil, etc.)  Amazon around here is all E delivery vehicles.  The paradigm shift is happening, and we see this overseas on other markets, where electric cars are rapidly replacing EV's. This is why I see the demise of domestics (among other issues). When the inevitable happens and the US and Canada do open the door to Chinese EV's, they will be so far ahead of what US automakers are making that it will be like watching the typewriter business or the buggy business go away as the new technology rushes in like a flood. 
    • You should eventually do it.  Personally, I don't think the place has a very good vibe, but I had to endure it.  They have extensive agricultural areas because they offer that area of study and, when the wind blows the wrong way, you feel like you want to throw up.  In some fields, they consider it on par with Michigan, but, for most fields, Michigan is much, much better.  The freshman admit rate at U of I remains high.  At Michigan, it keeps tightening up and getting lower. I think the latter is a much more attractive campus and college town.  Within the last 20 years, I found out that I have a first cousin in New York I'd never met before who chose Michigan over Cornell, and he also got into Cornell. Hindsight is 20/20, isn't it?
    • I've been taking photos and need to slot them into their right spots. GM "full sizes" Buick LaCrosse (3rd and final generation) This picture turned out good and flatters it.  It's about the same length as the 1st generation, but the sweep of the cabin greenhouse makes it look deceptively longer. I think there was a person inside, and they were wondering why I was taking this photo - - - - - Olds Ninety-Eight Regency (RWD, probably Olds 5.0 liter Rocket V8) Got it just in time! I'm thinking '83 or '84. I will always love these cars. This one dates back to July.  The others are all recent.  As I would say, "voila la Cathedrale Roulante." - - - - - Pontiac Bonneville At its very youngest, this is a 36 year old car.  The last year for this rear light bar was 1989. I saw this in a valet situation at a hospital and didn't have a chance to talk to the parking attendant. This Bonneville is in outstanding shape. I did not like the rounded Bonneville that Pontiac marketed from 1992 through 1999.  But I really liked the very last one which debuted in 2000 ... as long as the trim level didn't get carried away with the cladding.
    • Not good for the world economy as China has grown without importing. China’s growth is coming at the rest of the world’s expense
    • Some days I miss the whoosh of a V8 engine from behind a commanding dashboard.
