    VW Settlement

    With the most recent news that VW has reached a settlement to either buy back their 'flawed' vehicles or repair them, I wondered what would happen to the purchased ones. I would guess they will be repaired, probably at the local dealerships and sold. Nothing concrete yet, but the 'flaw' was just in the emissions test, not in the performance and they are 'sturdy' diesel vehicles. Combine the 'pre-owned' status and the horrible name many models will have now, they might be a good deal (or might not)

    Any thoughts on this?

It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."

    I actually almost bought a diesel jetta a year or two ago. I wanted it for the great mileage. After research I discovered that you can't really work on them yourself, and I won't own a vehicle that I can't work on. So I gave up on em. Plus, they're kinda gay. So there's that too. But you could probably get a good deal on one.

    The Mighty VW is not what it used to be. I've had several VWs over the years, and the newer ones are not anywhere near the quality of the Older ones. I owned a Jetta I, II, and III with the II being the best built of all of them. I wouldn't have a new one as a gift after the headaches I had with the wife's Jetta III.

    Buy American Made not American owned. I would rather put my fellows to work than employ those in a factory abroad.

    I agree. My friends give me crap for buying Toyotas. All of the Toyotas I bought have been made in the US by Americans while similar Fords, GM, and Dodge vehicles are made out of the country. I do not care where the profits go. After all, it does not do me much good to line the Ford family's pockets when they employ people in Canada or Mexico.

    There is a good point there. 2 of my American cars were made in Canada.

    2/3 of my vehicles were made in Canada, the other was made in Mexico. All US manufacturers, or at least were at the time.
